YamahaBb Clarinet Lyre
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A clip-on sheet music holder for Bb clarinet. For marching band, pep band, or anyone who has to play standing without a stand.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Marching band clarinetists reading drill charts or flip folder music
- Pep band and parade playing where stands aren't practical
- Outdoor gigs with no place to set a stand
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Seated concert or rehearsal players who already use a music stand
- Full-size sheet music — lyres take flip folder cards
- Other instruments; this is cut for a Bb clarinet body
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
Yamaha branded accessory
Built to fit Yamaha clarinet dimensions, which are close enough to standard that most brands work.
Detail 03
Under $15
Consumable-price gear. Most band programs buy these in bulk and replace bent ones rather than repair.
Detail 04
Metal clamp construction
Grips the instrument directly, so a soft cloth or careful placement keeps the finish from scuffing.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Flip folder is separate — the lyre holds it, but doesn't include it
- 02Check your band's required lyre style before buying; programs often standardize
- 03Test the clamp fit before the first rehearsal, not on the field
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this come with a flip folder?
No. The lyre is the holder that mounts to the clarinet. The flip folder with plastic music sleeves is a separate purchase.
02Will it fit a non-Yamaha clarinet?
Clarinet body diameters are fairly standard across brands, so it generally fits. Check the clamp against your instrument before the first performance.
03Will the clamp scratch my clarinet?
Metal against wood or resin can mark the finish over time. Many players wrap the contact point with a thin cloth or tape.
04Can I use this while seated?
You can, but it puts the music close to your face and adds weight to the instrument. A stand is easier for seated playing.
