Aklot Lyre Harp
Lyre (also known as Greek:λύρα) is the earliest plucked instrument in the West. Playing the lyre is an important way for students of ancient Greece to study music and poetry. The dignified and beautiful image of the seven-string harp is also a symbol of the lyrical poet Erato.
All of the Lyre have one thing in common, which is to Liberate the pure tone from the materialized instruments and materials. When you gently tap a string, it creates a continuous whistling effect within the space. This pure sound, free from any material, can sing and relax our body and mind.
16 Strings Lyre Harp
With more strings and tones compared to 7 or 10 strings harp, you don't need to tune or exchange the strings again and again when you want to play more different tone songs. More options and music style offer to you
Maple Wood Bridge

End loops
The concealed treatment loop end not only ensures the lyre harp with beautiful appearance, but also makes it easier to change strings.The experienced Luthier has carefully polished through several processes for the lyre harp with a rounded and perfect body.

The harp, like all wood instruments, is highly effected by the weather. Stay with it because it's a struggle to keep it in tune. Keep the tuner close by. When in tune, it's fun and relaxing to play.

The only issue I have with this is really not an issue with anything functional. The string guard at the bottom doesn't really line up well where you thread the strings through but it DOES line up well enough that all the strings CAN be threaded through. That's what matters most.The harp itself is much nicer than my Aklot Deerhead for the main reason of the strings being spread wider and less likely to have the rub-buzz, or accidentally overshooting and plucking the wrong string cause your nail happens to be just a hair too long.I have pretty small hands, but these string spacing feel much better. It will take some getting used to since I started on the deerhead, but I'm very pleased!

This lyre is a beautiful instrument. The wood is beautiful and I love the ornamental engraving around the sound hole. As the stings adjust, it is beginning to hold it's tuning well. I tried a few tuning apps and had great results with one called Instrument Tuner on the Play store.It arrived very fast and overall, I am very happy with my purchase. It also comes with a nice gig bag, extra set of strings, tuning wrench and a pickup! Well worth the money.

The lyre sounds great and is exactly what I was wanting. I followed a review recommendation to gently press upwards on the strings from the bottom and working up to the top and stretch them out. Be careful if you do it. You can get a feel for a little pressure but not too much. Hard to describe. The lyre started holding its tuning very quickly from what I was expecting. I got a lap harp before that I had to keep re-tuning constantly until the strings stretched out, but gently stretching them out sped up the process dramatically. This is probably an issue for any lyre or harp though as new strings will naturally stretch. The sound quality is just what I wanted. There was a girl that reviewed this, the bowl design and the deer design. The strings on this have good spacing and I don't have any trouble plucking the strings. My hands are big and I'm glad I decided on this instead of a deer design. The open area is good to reach the strings I want to play with my left hand. I can reach all but the top 3 strings with it and I doubt the left hand would play those anyways.

With the subject line of my review being said, prepare to needing to tweak the tuning every day. That’s normal! I tuned my newly bought lyre three times the first day and then played a tune. The next day I tuned it again, with less tuning being needed. I played several pieces. I’m not a professional on the lyre but I can get music out of it and am improving with the plucking method. The key is not turning the wrench provided on those pegs very much at all. When it was brand new some strings were quite loose. I turned them a little more, but any strings that had any tightness at all, I only turned them less than half a millimeter at a time! No joking! It needs very little to make a big change. Now, I want to share what I found on the Web that was a big help to me.“Your new strings need to be stretched in. You can repeatedly tune it a million times, OR you can break in the strings by gently tugging upwards on them with one or two fingers. Being a guitarist I know how far I can bend a string without breaking it- if you aren't sure, even the most gentle tug will help. By tugging upwards on the strings (in a few different spots) you will GREATLY reduce the time it takes to break in your strings. I'm talking weeks>hours. I just got a 16 string lyre today, so ofc (of course) it has brand new strings. I used my string stretching method and it's holding a tune already. I don't know about yours, but the strings on mine are very similar if not identical to guitar strings.”

La harpe est belle et le son bien mais elle est difficile à accorder et se désaccorde facilement car les cordes ont été coupées trop près des attaches. Il a fallu mettre d'autres cordes. Depuis, le son est stable.

Instrument is solidly build and sounds surprisingly nice. Tuning takes a little getting used to, but if coming from other stringed instruments like a guitar it isn’t so bad, stays in tune for a few days before needing adjustment.Bridge is made of a very soft wood that is cut easily by shifting of the steel strings and causes some string buzzing, so I will need to replace bridge eventually with a tougher wood. Recommended for people who already play stringed instruments like the guitar and are used to doing minimal tinkering and maintenance, not so much for a complete beginner.
