Beautiful materials and workmanship. Good price for a begging lyre. The sound quality is pretty good for most of the lyre but G3 (the lowest string) is buzzy and muted. Also the tuning is difficult.

It came with everything and the quality is pretty good it’s fun to play and sound great! I’m a little awkward with it but it’s pretty comfortable in my hands and easy to use if you know where to start.

I have been wanting to learn lyre for a while now but haven’t been sure where to start, so this was a great starting place. I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of this for the price! I have had some issues keeping it in tune, but I have read that it sometimes takes a while for the strings to adjust.

Nice sound when tuned right the app isn't the best but will work in a pinch needs a book with toons and finger placement till you get use to playing it. But I love it thank you and it looks awesome. It's easy to play sounds good, comfortable in my hands. And the quality for the amount of money was right on the dot.

I’ve been wanting to learn a stringed instrument for decades, but I always had difficulty figuring them out or found the play style uncomfortable for my wrists and hands. Then I saw this lyre harp. With its clearly-labeled notes, lack of frets, and simple design, I had a hunch this would be the right instrument for me and my hunch was right. After only a few short hours of ownership, I was able to tune and pluck a trio of simple melodies.It’s a visually interesting and a pretty-looking instrument. I’m no professional but the sound quality seems decent enough. The plus side is this is also a really good instrument for playing softly, so don’t worry about annoying your neighbors when you practice.Some reviews mention that their instrument won’t stay in tune, and I also had this problem in the very beginning, but the more you play and fiddle with it, the longer the strings will hold their notes. So JUST KEEP TUNING! Seriously. Just give it a quick tune every day and within a week you’ll (likely) be all set. Bonus: there are a few different lyrists/harpists on YouTube with how-to-play tutorials available, so you can start learning as soon as you unbox and tune it.

Very easy to learn and play. Very easy to tune. Very good looking instrument. Great as a starter instrument.I've never learned to play an instrument but wanted to so I got this one. I really love the sound of it. This one turned out to be very well made from what I can tell, and it sounds very good. It needed to be tuned a lot the first few days and the pins would turn a bit in their own. After about a week that stopped and now it only needs to be tuned after every few hours of use.

After reading reviews, I thought it wouldn’t be very good quality, but for the price, it’s amazing!! I think the negatives are from people who haven’t tuned instruments before. You start at one end, gently tighten each string a little toward the correct note, then go back to the beginning and do it again. I had to go over it three times to tune it, but we haven’t had any issues with it coming out of tune.Trust me, it’s worth it to do it slowly and properly so that you don’t run into issues! The strings are brand new, so they will stretch slightly and you may need to adjust the tuning a little, so keep this in mind.Coming from a musician of 30 years:The lyre is beautiful, is easy to tune, has a decent sound, and is absolutely great quality for the price. As a bonus, it looks like the one my daughter loves in Genshin!
