Detail 01
6 in. stem
Sets how far the folder sits from the horn. On a sousaphone the extra length gets the music out from behind the bell.

Grover-TrophyBrass Marching Lyres Sousaphone/Baritone with 6 in. Stem
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A brass marching lyre for sousaphone and baritone, with a 6 in. stem. Holds a flip folder of music while you march.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching band sousaphone or baritone players
- Pep band and parade use where music must travel with the horn
- Replacing a bent or lost lyre mid-season
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Trumpet, trombone or clarinet players — the stem and clamp differ
- Players who need the folder held higher than a 6 in. reach
- Concert-seated playing where a stand works better
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
Sousaphone/baritone fit
The mount is cut for those receivers specifically. A lyre for a smaller horn will not seat correctly.
Detail 03
Brass construction
Holds a bend rather than snapping, and can be gently reshaped if a marcher clips it against something.
Detail 04
Lyre, not a stand
It carries a flip folder only. Full sheet music and books will not stay put while moving.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your horn's lyre receiver diameter before ordering — fit is not universal
- 02A flip folder is a separate purchase; the lyre alone holds nothing
- 03Brass tarnishes and fingerprints show; a quick polish keeps it presentable in uniform
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my tuba?
It is made for sousaphone and baritone receivers. Concert tubas vary, so measure your lyre socket and compare before ordering.
02Does it come with a music folder?
No. The lyre is the holder; the flip folder that clips into it is bought separately.
03Why the 6 inch stem?
Larger horns put the bell and tubing between your eyes and the music. The longer stem pushes the folder into your sightline.
04Can I bend it to a better angle?
Brass will take a gentle adjustment by hand. Bend slowly and in small increments — repeated flexing at one spot will eventually fatigue the metal.
