The Korena take

A small clip-on lyre that holds a flip folder of music on your saxophone. For marching band members who need hands-free music.

Product studyYamaha Sax Lyre

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Marching band saxophonists reading on the field
  • Replacing a bent or lost lyre mid-season
  • Pep band and parade work where stands aren't possible

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Concert or seated playing, where a music stand is better
  • Players wanting a full folder of loose sheet music
  • Instruments other than saxophone

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 01

Saxophone-specific lyre

Shaped and sized for a sax body. Flute, clarinet, and trumpet lyres mount differently and are not interchangeable.

Detail 02

Lyre, not a stand

It mounts to the horn and holds music while you play and move. Nothing rests on the ground.

Detail 03

$9.99

Priced as a consumable. Cheap enough to keep a spare in the case for the season.

Detail 04

Yamaha

Matches the fit expectations of Yamaha saxophones, though lyre mounting is broadly conventional across brands.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No music folder included. Flip folders are sold separately.
  2. 02Check your sax has a lyre mount before ordering.
  3. 03Remove it for concert playing so it isn't bent in the case.

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. This is the lyre only. You add a marching flip folder, which slides into the lyre and holds your music pages.

02Will it fit a non-Yamaha saxophone?

Lyre mounts on saxophones follow a common pattern, so it generally fits. Check that your horn has a lyre receiver and compare fit before the first rehearsal.

03Alto or tenor?

It is a saxophone lyre, not sized to one member of the family. The same lyre is used across sax sizes that have a lyre mount.

04Can I leave it on all the time?

Better not to. It sticks out, catches on cases and chairs, and bends. Take it off after marching rehearsals.
