Review: I am so happy I listened to my ADHD impulse. - This lyre harp is BEAUTIFUL. The sound is so soothing and mesmerising. It took some patience to tune, and the strings went a little out of tune rather quickly but I watched some YouTube videos that explained this is normal as the strings settle, so it’s nothing too bothersome! It is a very well-made instrument. It has good weight to it and you can feel how good the quality is. I would highly recommend this for a beginner! It was great value for money too. 🖤 Review: Magical and beautiful! - I have been wanting to learn an instrument for a while, and stumbled across the lyre whilst reading Song of Achilles. After several reviews talking about the trouble with tuning, I must admit that I was worried, but I couldn't be happier or more surprised! Perhaps it was a previous manufacturing fault that has since been rectified, but I found tuning my lyre to be easy and straight forward. There has been a very slight slipping of notes, as one would expect with new strings, but they are already settling and were quickly rectified - and I have played it a lot over the last couple of days! Small adjustments made a huge difference and the sound is absolutely magical! My dad, who has had a lot of guitar experience, even started to play it. Would 100% recommend to those with or without musical experience. ## Features - 【HIGH QUALITY MATERIAL】-Donner 16 strings lyre harp is made by solid mahogany resonance box and carbon steel keys to make sure the sound is clear and gentle.

It is a very well-made instrument. It has good weight to it and you can feel how good the quality is. I would highly recommend this for a beginner! It was great value for money too. 🖤 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Magical and beautiful! *by S***A on 31 January 2023* I have been wanting to learn an instrument for a while, and stumbled across the lyre whilst reading Song of Achilles. After several reviews talking about the trouble with tuning, I must admit that I was worried, but I couldn't be happier or more surprised!

It needs to be heavily tuned out of the box using the provided tool and a tuning app/ gadget. The only bad point is that due to the low price point, the eyelets where the strings meet the body are very thin. This means repeated tight tunings will eventually cause the strings to cut into the wooden body, eventually making the instrument unplayable after a few years of heavy use. ## Frequently Bought Together - Donner Lyre Harp, 16 Metal Strings, Mahogany Body and Copper Saddle DLH-003 Lyre Harp with Tuning Wrench, Spare String Set, Black Gig Bag, Manual, Ancient Greece Style - A Beginner's Song Booklet for the 16 String Lyre-Harp - The Lyre Handbook: Playing Methods of the Anglo-Saxon Lyre with Directions for Construction --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/246701218-donner-lyre-harp-16-strings-metal-copper-saddle-lyre-harp](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/246701218-donner-lyre-harp-16-strings-metal-copper-saddle-lyre-harp) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
