Leblanc3057 French Horn Lyre
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A lyre for French horn. Holds a music card off the horn so a marching or pep band player can read while standing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- French horn or marching mellophone players in a field show
- Pep band and parade work without stands
- Section replacement stock at the start of a season
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Trumpet, trombone or sax players — the mount is horn-specific
- Horns with no lyre receiver installed
- Seated concert playing
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
Clamp-on music holder
Music sits in your sightline while both hands stay on the horn and in the bell.
Detail 03
Metal construction
Holds its bend under wind and motion, but can be permanently kinked if stepped on or packed loose.
Detail 04
Around $13
Cheap enough to keep a spare in the case; not a part worth having repaired.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your horn has a lyre receiver — many concert horns do not
- 02Music cards and flip folder are not included
- 03Check the shank fits your receiver before the first rehearsal, not at call time
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on a marching mellophone?
Often yes, since mellophone receivers commonly match horn lyres. Test the shank in your receiver before relying on it for a show.
02Where does it mount?
In the lyre receiver, a small square box soldered to the body of the horn. Loosen the thumbscrew, insert the shank, tighten.
03Can I add a receiver to a horn that lacks one?
A repair tech can braze one on. That is shop work, not something to do at home.
04Does it include the flip folder?
No. You buy the folder or card holder separately and slide it onto the lyre.
