Detail 01
8 inch stem
Long stem raises the folder toward your eye line on a large horn. Short-stem lyres sit too low to read from behind a sousaphone bell.

Independent shopping perspective

- Sousaphone players in marching band who read on the field
- Baritone and euphonium players needing a lyre for parade season

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Trumpet, clarinet or flute players — the stem fits low brass receivers
- Anyone needing the flip folder, which is a separate purchase
- Indoor concert playing off a music stand
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
Brass construction
Brass bends before it snaps. A lyre knocked out of alignment on the field can usually be bent back rather than replaced.
Detail 03
Sousaphone/baritone fit
Sized for the lyre receiver on those horns. Receiver diameters differ by instrument, so a trumpet lyre will not swap in.
Detail 04
Bare lyre, no folder
The frame holds a flip folder. Without one, there is nothing to clip your music into.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your horn actually has a lyre receiver and its screw is present.
- 02Flip folder not included. Buy one sized for the lyre frame.
- 03Stem length changes reading angle. Measure against your current lyre if replacing.
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 tuba receivers vary, so compare the stem against your horn's receiver before ordering.
02Does a flip folder come with it?
No. This is the lyre frame only. The folder that holds your music pages is a separate item.
03Why an 8 inch stem instead of a shorter one?
Larger horns put the receiver low and far from your eyes. The extra length lifts the music up where you can read it while marching.
04Can I use this on a trumpet?
No. Trumpet lyres use a different stem and receiver size. You need a lyre made for that instrument.
