Lyre Harp Made of Beech!
The Classic Cantabile harp is the ideal entry into the world of harps for adults and children. This travel-friendly plucked instrument delights with easy handling and a full tone.
Construction
Except for the strings, the entire harp is made of beech. To boost the instrument's resonance, the body is assembled from just two parts: a single-piece beech body with a beech top glued on. The curved bridge (also beech) transmits the strings' vibrations to the resonating body. Because all strings are played as open, freely vibrating notes, it fortunately doesn't matter if the bridge doesn't return millimeter-perfect to its original position after restringing.
Strings and Tuning
Unlike ordinary harps, this lyre harp is strung with regular guitar strings. That makes finding replacements much easier. For a full restring you only need two sets of steel-string acoustic guitar strings — the lowest string from each set will be left over. The tuning machines match those of a harp and are operated with the supplied square tuning key.
The harp's 10 strings can be tuned in two different ways:
- Diatonic: To play specific melodies and songs, tune the strings — starting on the lower D — to the notes of the C major scale, i.e.: D-E-F-G-A-B-C'-D'-E'-F'
- Pentatonic: For free improvisation or, for example, in children's music education, tune the strings to D-E-G-A-B-D'-E'-G'-A'-B'.
Includes Bag
What would a travel instrument be without the right carrying bag? The softly padded bag not only protects your instrument from dust and scratches, the separate inner compartment even provides space for the tuning key and other accessories.

Really something nice. I can't really play it though. Maybe strung a little differently than it should be for me, but I'm pretty happy with it. Thanks for the good price. Maybe an insert with a nice song would be good. Something nice for everyone, like "Amazing Grace". A few sources on how to learn to play the lyre would be important for beginners.
A wonderful harp. I like it.

With ten strings, of course, the use is limited.
Reduces to pieces with a maximum of 10 different tones.
You may have to tune the instrument specifically for a piece.
A good tuner, which has a mic, is helpful.
And then you can have fun.
Suitable for beginners if someone helps with tuning and reading music.
