Detail 01
Thin shank
The post is the narrower of the two common diameters. A thick-shank receiver will not hold it tight.

Conn1691S Thin Shank Trumpet Lyre
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A thin-shank lyre for trumpet. Clamps a music card in front of the bell so you can read charts while marching.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching band trumpet players reading drill charts on the field
- Pep band gigs where a stand is impractical
- Replacing a bent or lost lyre before the season starts
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Trumpets with a thick-shank lyre receiver
- Concert playing where a music stand works better
- Horns with no lyre receiver box brazed on
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Lyre, not a stand
Mounts to the horn itself, so the music travels with you and moves as you move.
Detail 03
Trumpet-specific
Shank length and clamp angle are set for a trumpet receiver, not cornet, mellophone or trombone.
Detail 04
Under $15
Priced as a consumable marching part. Expect to replace it after a rough season rather than repair it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your receiver diameter first — thin and thick shanks are not interchangeable
- 02Flip folder and music cards are separate purchases
- 03A loose fit rattles; some players shim the shank with tape
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I know if I need thin or thick shank?
Measure the hole in the lyre receiver on your horn, or take the old lyre to a shop. Thick-shank posts will not enter a thin receiver at all.
02Does this come with a flip folder?
No. This is the metal lyre only. You add the flip folder or card holder separately.
03Will it fit a cornet?
Only if the cornet has a thin-shank receiver. Receiver style varies by maker, so check the horn rather than the instrument type.
04Does it stay put while marching?
It holds if the receiver grips the shank snugly. A worn or oversized receiver lets the lyre spin, which is a horn issue, not a lyre issue.
