Tunes easily. Stays in tune better than expected. Tunes to what sounds like an Oriental pentatonic scale, no wrong notes. Fun to play around on this one. Shimmering sounds surprisingly loud and resonant from such a small harp. Read more

The media could not be loaded. Lovely! I got this to augment our Waldorf circle time in the morning. Nice sound, the kids love it, easy to hold and play! Beautiful and well made. The experience of playing and listening is really lovely, I'm so glad this was so affordable, the typical Waldorf harps are roughly twice to three times the price. If you're wanting an affordable Waldorf pentatonic experience, get this! (Caution, your kids will all want their own!) Read more

A little difficult to tune at first... until the strings get used and stretched. I found an online tuner that was very helpful. I love playing this, it's so peaceful. When tuned properly, you literally can't hit a sour note. I don't know how to play any specific songs on it, but I pluck away on it to the rhythm of songs like Amazing Grace, Puff the Magic Dragon, and similar easy to know melodies. I've had it for quite a few months now, and I like it so much I'm thinking of getting a bigger one. Definitely a lovely instrument for beginners! Read more

I really like this instrument. The sound is pleasant and calming, and it's very relaxing to play—especially as a beginner. However, I was a bit disappointed to find that the notes were not engraved above the strings, which was one of the main reasons I chose this particular product. I later found a note in the fine print of the listing that mentions some models may not include the engraving. While I understand that, I do wish that information had been made more prominent in the description. Overall, it's a beautiful and enjoyable instrument, but a bit more clarity in the listing would have made for a better experience. Read more

This is my second lyre. My first one is blue and I love it, but I needed a natural colored one for reenactment events, plus I needed a second one sooner so that I can play in two different keys in a concert. I have tuned this one to the key of D by raising the F and C strings to F# and C#. The sound is gorgeous (with great sustain), but even more impressive, the strings settled really quickly. My other lyre took a couple of weeks to settle, and I'm not sure if it had to do with the weather and/or the fact that I just understand the instrument better now, but I was able to get it to stay in tune and long enough on the first day to play some chords to accompany myself singing, and on subsequent days it stayed in tune with itself pretty well and just needed a bit of adjusting. On the second or third day, only 1/3 of the strings were a tiny bit flat and the other ones were bang-on! I was astonished. I'm sure someone has mentioned this already in the reviews, but make sure that when you're tuning it, you turn it just a tiny tiny bit each time. Like barely exerting any pressure at all. You really have to be careful when you're tuning it. It'll seem a little crazy at first but it will settle and it's such a joy to play. For this price point, excellent value! PS: Just a quick edit to add that this model does not have the notes engraved. It's okay for me, since I bought it to tune to other keys anyway! Read more

It has such a beautiful tone i love it. Some can sound a little china-made but this one sounds authentic. Just like the one on the show House of David. Love it 💜 My only advice is to be patient tuning it. When you tighten them to tune them... this can make the other strings needs tightening again. I started at the highest sounding string and tuned down.. then went over them all again and it has stayed in tune nicely. There is a great universal tuner on the play store I used that worked great to help tune it. Read more
