Beautiful instrument and beautiful tone. Very happy with this, it is really good quality and value for the price. The strings are nice, not cheap and that makes it so much better to learn on. I look forward to learning more songs on the lyre harp!

Jason Foreman
Got this as a gift to my niece in law as she seemed to like music and the components that come with it. I thought it would be a great start to things to come. She absolutely loved it and more. It came with so much with it she did not have to worry about any other items to buy. Great thing is any smartphone can install a tuner for it.
Shane Steel
Great purchase! Will purchase again as a gift for my niece.
Chris Cuthell

I bought this for my daughter, and fell in love with it! Thinking about buying ine for myself too! ????
Rudi Simmons
I cannot play a guitar or piano, but I bought this and within 30 minutes I was playing basic songs like Amazing Grace.
Colette Colette
I could quickly learn to pick out melodies and play a few simple chords! This is a great investment. My mother loves hearing me play on it...
Hugh Howell
I don't think a smoother sounding instrument can be acquired for ￡60. I've had this for a year now, and it's held up. And I still love it. Enjoy the simplicity of the pentatonic scale, on which basically anything sounds great.
Dominic Prunty
I have no experience with this and no experience with any musical instruments but this is an amazing instrument that seems easy to learn if you put the tune into it. Highly recommend
Sophie Whelan
I haven't used an instrument since I was a kid and even then, I wasn't particularly dedicated to learning. Picking up this lyre, I found it easy to tune and play. Keeping in mind inexperience, I did have trouble getting my strings to stay tuned for longer than a day. The build quality is quite nice, especially for the price. It shipped inside the protective case with extra padding, accessories sealed in the front pocket, and didn't have a single blemish. I've enjoyed my little lyre the entire time I've had it and definitely recommend it if you want something entry level, not overly loud, and easy to just sit back and play on.
Kate Clubbs
I like this product,overall good for the price. But the chemical smell lasted for a while.
Diana Medvedi
I purchased this as a gift for my adult son who enjoys all types of music and instruments. It was a hit! It arrived packaged well and in perfect condition.
Sarah Glenn
I purchased this as a gift for my husband, and he loves it. It’s an absolute steal at this price! It is incredibly sturdy and not thick or bulky. The sound that’s generated from the mahogany body is absolutely beautiful. It holds it’s tuning incredibly well! Purchase one! You will not be disappointed.
Cecilia Tupac
I purchased this for my granddaughter, but took it out of the box and tuned it for her before gifting it. My initial impressions were favorable. It seemed more like a musical instrument than a toy, which is nice for this price. I found it had good tone and was easy to tune. As mentioned by other reviewers, the strings take a few days to “settle in” before they stayed in tune, but that is normal.
Georgie Clifford
I really needed the bag for this because I commute in and out of NYC frequently I was impressed with the instrument, but one of the zippers on the bag stopped working. It's ok though because it still closes, but that's the only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5. Instrument itself is 5/5 stars.
John Vincent Maher
I’m using this product to play the harp at home.
Tallulah Brettell
It is beautiful!
Jamie King
It was a lovely starter instrument! I had to tune it a bit after receiving
Daniel Chlebowski
It was easy to learn I went on YouTube. The sound was great sounds just beautiful ??
Attila Sarkany
It’s a nice gift but some of the strings were snap and the only way to fix them is to redo all of the strings.
Holik Miroslav
It’s beautiful, easy to hold and the perfect gift for an aspiring harpist.
PETER MARTIN
It's a nice instrument. It sounds nice. I just haven't figured out how to play it yet.
Daniel Wood
Its decent. Keeps tune for the most part.
John Jolliffe
I've had this lyre for over a year now. It is pretty, well made, and sounds nice. Easy to tune (I use a Snark clamp style tuner). I've dropped it a few times and it held up very well. One beautiful tip I learned to play without disturbing anyone is, what I was told, the style of David who composed so many songs: Hold it over your heart with your ear on the side of the wood (this design is challenging but it can be done) and barely touch the strings and you can hear it very well. It's lovely. I am now looking for one with more strings, I love it so much.
Giovanni Bianchi
Just running your fingers across the strings brings enjoyment.
J Farrell
lovely for beginner
Pubudu Amarasena
My 17 yr old daughter is always looking for new instruments. I took a leap and grabbed this for her. She's always playing around with it and it sounds great!
Paul Salmon
My daughter love the harp, easy to play and it looks nice
Anna Danielo-Cook
My husband loves this instrument; he immediately picked it up and began to tune it and then learned Helvegen by Wardruna. He did have a little trouble at first because it's smaller than he expected, he is a pretty large man so it looks even smaller in his hands, but it is a great beginner instrument to learn the lyre or harp. Also he had to re-tune it a million times the first few days he played it because the strings were settling in I think; he would re-tune it about every 10 minutes or so that he played, but its settled now and he only has to re-tune after it has set and not been played for a week or so. Bottom line, this is a wonderful instrument and a great one for beginners. Just keep in mind it is on the small side, but that doesn't mean it's for children only! :)
Gary Duke
My son found this easy to hold and play. The sound quality is nice.
James Fowler
My wife absolutely loved this. It sounds good and pretty well built too. Good value for the money.
Alan Cork
Nice instrument for beginner as myself.
Gemma Tomlin
Nice sound. I prefer to tune it in a diatonic scale. The instrument does lose its tuning rather quickly but that may improve with time. The sound is quite hypnotic, my eight year old adores her lyre.
Ben Smith
Ordered this as a gift for a friend for Christmas. He's been loving it??
EMMA ROCA PUIG
Overall a quality little lyre. Great for anyone wanting to learn but not wanting to shell out a ton of money.
Lee Turski
Overall, this is a good basic Lyre if you are a beginning (like myself). My lyre arrived out of tune and missing some of the items the product listing stated came with--but customer service (after a while) reached an okay solution. I do find that the suggested tuning really limits what songs you can play. I have mine slightly tuned different to play some basic songs (I am playing some of the "Ocarina" songs from Legend of Zelda). The quality of the Lyre is fine and it looks like the product image. I am pleased with it overall--especially since I am very much a beginner.
Charles Mong

Purchased for a gift. Good value for the money. The harp appears to be sturdy and did not seem like a cheap version.
Alice Gilchrist
Purchased for son as a gift. He found it easy to hold and learn to play

STEFAN CRISTIAN SERGHIUTA
Solid construction. Made a good gift.
Nick Egdell
Sounds phenomenal !!! Hooked it up to a donner amp and love it!
Paul Burns
Such a beautiful instrument! Beautiful sound, very easy to tune and assemble and to hold! Also perfect for a gift and perfect for all levels! Highly recommend
Leah Johnson
Such a good gift for anyone who loves music!
Nathan Disley
The first string has trouble getting and staying in tune, but otherwise this is beautiful! Very easy to get the hang of, secure and comfortable traveling case.
Jacob Graham
The media could not be loaded. It was easy to get into. They also included a app to use to help tune your lyre. I honestly really love it and was worried it wouldn’t be what I wanted. But with 7 strings it’s a blast! I hope I can learn more songs soon
Christine Finley
The media could not be loaded. The lyre sounds good. Takes some patience to tune and if your a beginner or just curious and want to pick up a new instrument the 7 string lyre to me is a good deal. Play with the angles to bend the sound and if your good you can even do harmonics! Had fun with this one.
Candice Roundell
There’s a bit of tune wandering, but overall expected for a lyre. P good otherwise
Patrick McCambridge
This beautiful instrument makes such a lovely sound. The resonance emitted by the demure handcrafted body is impressive and reminiscent of ancient storytelling.
Tania McGrath
This harp is really easy to learn. It has a beautiful sound. I use finger picks to play it and I really enjoy it.
Gillian Blyth
This instrument is beautiful and so relaxing.
Chris Pearson
This is a beautiful little instrument, 7 strings is perfect for a beginner. But the tuning, oh lord the tuning. The act itself is simple enough, but even a small twist will ratchet it sharp or flat. Sometimes you only need to tap the tuner a few times to reach the perfect pitch. You SHOULD NOT crank the strings tight quickly. But once you have it tuned it's such a joy to play. You can pluck a few melodies you recognize or just make your own music. The sound is beautiful and resonates wonderfully. I recommend it for anyone who may want to learn the harp later, or is just interested in the lyre itself.
Harris Stuart
This is a unique and thoughtful gift. My daughter is very hard to shop for. When she opened this she was genuinely happy & surprised! It does require assembly but I think that is part of the joy. I am not musically trained but it sounds lovely to me. Considering all the gifts my daughter got for her birthday and Christmas (2 days apart) I think she liked this best.
Marissa Oliveros
This little harp is a great buy for the money. It's made of a pretty wood and finished beautifully. Once it's tuned with included tools, you don't need any musical background or knowledge to strum or pluck the strings. We tuned ours to the pentatonic scale and you can feel your blood pressure come down as you sit and just play away. It's almost magical! You can find videos on-line to teach you to tune the harp easily.
Gabriel Llera Garcia
This little lyre has amazing sound quality. I chose this 6 string when I decided to teach myself how to play, hoping it would be easier on a beginner. It’s beautiful and I spent many hours tuning and playing without music. The downside is that it’s only 6 strings, and doesn’t even have a C String. So it’s almost impossible to find music to play on it. I am keeping it even though I was gifted a 16 string for Christmas. The 16 string lyre I have now doesn’t have as beautiful of sound quality, but it’s so much easier to find music for. I’m hoping that as I progress I will be able to compose or find more music for just a 6 string.
Trev Milne
This lyre is wonderfully constructed. Sounds beautiful, and stays in tune.
Edward French
This was a gift for my son He likes it very much
Nathan Howard
This was a gift to 3 great granddaughters who were thrilled with it. The youngest is 9 and had no issues learning to play it. They are all musically gifted and share it.
Fam. Schatzschneider
This was everything I was looking for and more!

Donna-Marie E.
G r e a t quality and elegant sound. Tack mycket-! :)
James W.
The lyre came well packaged and earlier than I expected. On opening the box everything was there in the travel bag. The lyre itself is well made and ideal for beginners. It wasn't too taxing to tune it with the tuning handle and holds the notes well. My daughter took to it very well and plays daily. It's an amazing piece of kit and worth the money. The extra accessories you get with it are of good quality and you even get a spare set of strings should you need them but the ones that are fitted are of a good standard. Great work by donner!!! Would definitely recommend their equipment!!
Jane D.
I think it’s a very sweet thing haven’t set it up I think I confused it with the one with more strings.
I’m sure I will like it once I get it going.
Luckily I have a tuner.
Corbin M.
Awesome quality. Sounds amazing!
