It’s pretty- but it loses pitch each time you strum. Not worth it.

Item arrived broken, the bridge is completely detached from the lyre and the strings were also broken. It wasn’t shipped in a box, but a bag, and wasn’t packaged to be protected. It’s a beautiful harp and I hoped it would be great for me but it’s just simply to beat up to justify keeping it.

This arrives with no instructions. Got on YouTube and figured out how to tune it. It runs from middle C to high E so you can play any song in that range with no accidentals. Tuning is very slippery and very sensitive, but hopefully that will settle out as you keep tuning it. You can probably adjust the B and F strings to be sharp and flat, which opens up keys of C, A minor, E minor, F, G, and probably some others. Noticed that all the players on YouTube had the lower notes (thicker strings) closer to them and the higher strings further away which is a pretty intuitive way to play a stringed instrument (I play guitar a little and ukulele a bit more, as well as piano). With this lyre you can't do that and pluck the strings right-handed unless you turn the instrument upside down or put your fingers through the center hole first. Also the strings were pretty tight and oversensitive to tuning. My husband has restrung guitars and ukes before, so we ordered longer strings and he restrung it right-handed. However, in the process it became obvious that the saddle isn't attached at all--it moves around--and the wider *holes* for the strings are made left-handed. Weird. He was able to restring it that way but one string broke and we have to order another one. Anyway, I played it upside-down for a while (works pretty well for folk songs and hymns) and it sounds nice and I'm looking forward to playing it again when the restringing process is done. Will try to remember to update once I've been playing it a while!

I received this product for my birthday or I would have returned it. While a somewhat pretty instrument it is very unfinished and poorly put together. The key used to tighten the strings broke the first day and one string is stuck and will not move. The flowers on the body were carved but not finished before stain was slapped down and there were cobwebs and dust in the notch on bottom. Maybe they grabbed mine from the reject pile by accident or something.
