Lyre Harp A Sets of 16 Replacement Metal Strings with 50 Pcs Gold Brass Hollow Rivets

The lyre is beautiful, prettier and lighter than expected. Because the strings are new, it had to be tuned several times, as new strings stretch until they are well seated. I used an online video on YouTube to tune it by ear, which worked well. I found that as I tuned each string to pitch, if I pressed the string down towards the body to stretch it, it helped a lot to get it set and would then stay in tune. The tuning pegs are quite sensitive and just a little pressure with the supplied tuning key will bring the string to pitch. Overall, a wonderful gift for my wife and the family loves it.

I bought these to add to a Tennessee music box that I'm building to tune the strings. These far exceeded my expectations. These are great for anyone wanting to build a dulcimer, canjo, or other type of DIY instrument.

The media could not be loaded. I have 3 lyres and this is my favorite so far. It tuned very quickly and easily the same day I got it, and hasn't needed any adjustments over half a note overnight.The sound is rich and pretty. This style of lyre does have the strings closer together than the ones without antlers, but I haven't had any trouble playing this one and prefer the design since you can easily reach all notes from front and back.The pattern on the front and the wood color are also just beautiful! No big logo and exactly as pictured. Very pleased so far.Edit after several months: Still love this thing, it still holds a tune well, but after using several other lyres, I can say that I think this one is tinny sounding in comparison to some. It has gotten worse over time because there is nothing to keep thinner strings from biting through the panel on the bottom. Other lyres I've had have a metal line that bears the brunt of the pressure, keeping the strings on top.Still my favorite one for appearance and reliable tuning, though!

It was delivered when it was to be. It was packaged well. I didn't receive the picks or what looks like a cleaning cloth. It is well made. I was excited when I saw the butterflies were carved and not painted on. I'm excited to get it tuned and to start playing!

Love it. Came timely and as expected

I've wanted one of these for a while, and I will be attending a renaissance Halloween party, and this will be part of my costume. I've really enjoyed learning some songs on it. It takes several times to tune because the strings need to stretch a bit. Like any other string instrument ( I have an play others), you need to be careful tuning it, barely turning the tuning pin changes the pitch. I downloaded the InsTuner app (free download), and it worked perfect. Nice instrument to add to my collection.

We like it a lot. It met all our expectations. It's a beautiful instrument.

Be very careful with this product! I drilled pilot holes into the wood to help set the pins. The pilot holes were drilled with a bit diameter just wide enough to allow the threads to "lock" into the wood. Two of the pins broke in half and the strings attached like a whip right up to my eye!
