Modern, lyre harp has evolved from 7 strings to 10 strings, 12 strings, 16 strings, 25 strings, 35 strings, etc., and its styles are also different. All lyre has one thing in common, which is to liberate pure sounds from materialized instruments and their materials. When you gently tap a string, he can create a continuous whistling effect within the space. This pure sound that is not bound by any matter, whether it is accompaniment or performance, can relax our body and mind.
With more strings and tones compared to 7 or 10 strings harp, you don't need to tune or exchange the strings again and again when you want to play more different tone songs. More options and music style offer to you
When the new string is changed, the state of the string are unstable. Usually, after one or two minutes, the sound is loose. This kind of running phenomenon is a common phenomenon. Need to be patiently adjusted 3-5 times. Repeated adjustment for a week or so is basically to achieve a relatively stable state, but each performance should be adjusted once.

Harps are expensive, and I picked up this cheap one because my son and daughter constantly wanted to use my large one. I was pleasantly surprised when this arrived. The metal strings have a decent sound, the construction is solid, and the tuning pins aren't all trash (some aren't great, but they're good enough for plonking around on)If you're looking for performance quality, this is not it. But if you are looking for practice quality or a tool to help teach young people music, this is definitely a good value.Notes: Some lyre techniques use two hands, one in back and one in front. This lyre harp will not accommodate that play style. The lowest and highest strings can be plucked from the front only due to the position of the frame. Other than that, plucking and strumming were quite rewarding.

This harp arrived and was unusable for the first week due to an extremely strong chemical smell emanating from the instrument. Once the product had aired out enough I set about tuning it -- and let me tell you -- this instrument is impossible to tune. The tuning wrench doesn't fit properly over the pegs and slips constantly which makes the process even more tedious. I sat for a while both with apps and clip-on tuning devices and despite my efforts the instrument still sounded absolutely awful. Furthermore, while tuning the instrument sheds small metal bits all over the place. It is unplayable, odorous, and surprisingly messy. Not worth it.Absolutely disappointing purchase. I do not recommend purchasing this lyre harp.

I was surprised at how nice this little thing was. The red finish looks very nice and the instrument does not feel cheap or otherwise low quality.Like any other stringed instrument, this takes a bit of work to stretch the strings for the first day or so, but then it seems to hold tuning very nicely. It is right at the limit of one handed playing with the 16 strings. They are spaced comfortably and have a sweet sound. The tension is good and minimal hum.The sound projection is much better than I'd expected given it doesn't have a sound board. That shallow groove really pushes the sound out.Overall, I would absolutely recommend this for anyone who's looking to upgrade from a 7 or 10 string lyre. More strings than this starts getting into harp territory and i find myself wanting to play this two handed too often as it is.Word of warning: Not a con for this instrument so much as an issue with a lack of lessons and details for all lyres that don't use pentatonic scaling. In my opinion, this instrument is really more for someone who already understands music theory a bit and is familiar with stringed instruments specifically. If you play harp and want something more portable than a celtic, this may work, but it is not really intended to be played two handed. This is strictly a one hander, so even large hands can have issues sometimes depending on what you're wanting to play. It is a beautiful instrument, but it is also limited.

I have been plinking on 10 string lyres for about a year. My first was one of the small Pakistan 10-string rosewood lyres with a box and sound hole. My second was the large 10-string Mideast Kinnor. I find these lyres very soothing and interesting to play. I usually pluck one for a few minutes after work to relax. I avoid pentatonic lyres with 5 or 7 strings because I like to play on a minor scale or in the dorian mode.I found myself wanting a lyre with more strings so I could play more arpeggio chords. There are 16 and 22 string lyres, but they tend to be bigger and more expensive. Then I saw this, which is just a little bigger than my original 10 string.It is just the right size to take hiking or traveling. I like a deeper sound like I get from my large 10-string kinnor, but that one is too big to carry around. This 16-string and its gig bag only weigh maybe 2 -2.5 lbs.The sound seems like it has more reverb with its open sound board than my closed box/soundhole lyres. Make sure you don't go higher than the recommended tuning (C major with a lower GAB before you hit the first C) to avoid snapping strings. It's no problem to drop half a step lower on any of the strings to get a minor scale. The strings will need several retunings over the course of a couple days before they start to hold their place well. I have just finished tuning it for the first time, but I can tell the extra 6 strings over my other lyres is going to make it far more interesting to play. I think 16 is probably optimal and more than that starts getting into full on harp territory and gets tedious to keep tuned.You get a nice little nylon gig bag, shoulder strap, tuning wrench, and a set of strings. For the price, I think this lyre is very well made and a great buy. I would skip straight over 7-10 string lyres and get this unless you just want to play pentatonic or you want to emulate ancient lyres like the Israelites and Greeks used.This would make a great gift for anyone who knows a little music theory from the piano and likes soothing instruments. I get made fun of a little for being a manly man who plays a "harp", but so did Vikings.

It's so cute and is a beautiful instrument， I have enjoyed the use of this instrument and found it to be a worthwhile purchase that I would recommend.This is a very nice instrument. This is a great gift for me.Cool easy to play instrument!This instrument is very easy to use and easy to tune. It is also super addictive, pick it up and you won’t put it down for hours. I have little experience with musical instruments, and this is really fun.This is a nice little instrument. It comes with a travel bag and a tuning tool. Tuning can be a little tricky if you’re not familiar with old school friction type tuners, so beware that just a little nudge of the pegs is all you need. The craftmanship is good and it’s a nice sounding little harp.
