Detail 01
Plastic construction
Light, so it adds little weight to the horn. Less durable than metal and can crack if stepped on or over-tightened.

SelmerPlastic Lyre for Clarinet Clarinet
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Plastic lyre that clamps to a clarinet and holds a marching flip folder. For students and marching band players who need hands-free music.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching band students who read from a flip folder
- Replacing a lost or cracked lyre before the next parade
- Keeping a spare in the case for the season
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Seated concert playing where a stand works better
- Anyone wanting metal durability under rough handling
- Instruments other than clarinet — the clamp is sized for it
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
Clarinet-specific fit
The clamp is sized to a clarinet body. It will not seat correctly on a flute, saxophone or trumpet.
Detail 03
Clamp-on mount
Attaches to the instrument body rather than a screw hole. No modification to the clarinet is needed.
Detail 04
Lyre only
Holds a flip folder. The folder itself is a separate purchase and has to match the lyre's slot.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Flip folder is not included and is needed to hold music
- 02Do not overtighten — plastic clamps strip and crack
- 03Check your band's lyre requirement; some programs specify a type
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does a music folder come with this?
No. This is the lyre only. You need a marching flip folder separately, and it should have a slot that matches the lyre's blade.
02Will it scratch my clarinet?
The plastic clamp is gentler than metal, but grit trapped underneath can mark the body. Wipe the contact area before mounting.
03Can I use this on a saxophone?
No. The clamp is shaped for a clarinet body. Saxophones use a different lyre that fits their neck or body ring.
04Plastic or metal lyre — which should I get?
Plastic is lighter and cheaper, and it is the common student choice. Metal survives rougher handling but adds weight to the instrument.
