Detail 01
Plastic construction
Lighter than a metal lyre so it shifts the horn's balance less, but it can crack rather than bend if stepped 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
Trumpet and cornet fit
Sized for the lyre socket on those horns. A different instrument's socket won't take it.
Detail 03
Holds a flip folder
The music itself goes in a separate flip folder that slides onto the lyre arms.
Detail 04
Around $12
Priced to replace, not repair. Most marching players carry a spare.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check your trumpet actually has a lyre screw socket — not all do
- 02Flip folder and music are separate purchases
- 03Tighten the lyre screw before stepping off; they work loose while marching
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with the flip folder?
No. This is the lyre only — the metal-or-plastic arm that mounts to the horn. The flip folder that holds your music sheets is bought separately.
02How does it attach to the trumpet?
It slides into the lyre socket on the horn and is held by a thumbscrew. If your trumpet has no socket, this won't mount.
03Is plastic strong enough for marching?
For normal marching use, yes. It's light and won't bend out of shape like metal, but a hard impact can crack it, so carry a spare.
04Will it fit my flugelhorn?
It's specified for trumpet and cornet. Sockets vary by horn, so check the fit against your instrument's lyre receiver before buying.
