"OW" Lyre Harp 10 Metal String Bone Saddle Mahogany Lye Harp with Tuning Wrench and Lyre Harp Bag

The lyre harp is beautiful, however the tuning wrench that comes with it is a piece of junk. I broke three strings trying to tune it and the wrench was pretty useless when I got to the store third string, so it is still out of tune. My advice is to order a tuning wrench at the same time.

It looks great my son loved it.

Beautiful Lyre sounds beautiful after tuned. The harp is excellent for worship and folk music. Beautiful wood and sound.

ONE STAR RATING- no matter how many times I keep changing it, my rating is automatically changed to 3 stars. Which this product does not deserve.What I received was similar-at best- to what was pictured. Firstly it has the notes that each string is supposed to be, engraved into the top. Secondly it has a metal plate on the bottom where the strings meet. That was not pictured and makes it extremely hard to restring because it’s barely matched up with the holes. How do I know what it’s like to restring this harp?? Because the strings snapped THREE separate times while I was trying to tune it. Mind you it was supposed to come tuned. And half of my difficulty began with their pamphlet that was incorrectly telling what notes the strings were supposed to be. Turns out the surprise engraved notes at the top is the correct notes. So the first time it snapped is on me, I guess..... the other two times I barely moved it and it snapped. Speaking of tuning. The tuning wrench is another thing that was different than pictured- not that it really matters much. The cherry on top would have to be that the actual lyre harp came all scratched up and dented and the metal plate that wasn’t even supposed to be there came tarnished.....

I was excited to order and receive this, but now I am only disappointed.Does this item match the photo? Nope. The notes for the strings are carved into the front. Useful? Maybe. It would look better if they were on the top or the back. However, the manual that came with the harp has different notes assigned to the strings. The manual says to tune for the key of C, which is not what is carved into the harp.To top it all off, one of the strings came broken. Which maybe is why they send extra strings. The tuning tool does not look like the one in the advertised photo, which is not a big deal in itself, but it also doesn't fit the tuning pegs well.Ultimately, I feel like I bought a piece of junk. I'm returning it, shame on me for thinking I could get something nice for so little money. You get what you pay for. My advise would be DO NOT BUY.
