Detail 01

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting a seated concert stand alternative
- Anyone needing a lyre for a different instrument

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
Trumpet-specific fit
Sized for the trumpet lyre box or valve casing mount. Will not fit trombone, mellophone or sousaphone receivers.
Detail 03
Lyre-card sizing
Takes marching-size flip folders and cut-down music, not full sheets. Standard pages will flop or tear.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Flip folder and music cards are not included
- 02Check that your trumpet actually has a lyre receiver — not all do
- 03Thin metal bends under wind load; treat it as a wear part
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with a flip folder?
No. The lyre is the metal holder only. You buy the flip folder and lyre-size music separately.
02Will it fit my trumpet?
It fits trumpets with a standard lyre receiver, usually a small socket near the valve casing or leadpipe. Check your horn for that socket first.
03What is the difference between a bent and a straight lyre?
A bent lyre angles the music up toward your face. A straight one holds it flat and further out, which is harder to read while marching.
04Can I use it on a cornet?
Only if the cornet has the same lyre receiver size and placement. Receivers vary between models, so match the socket before buying.
