Nice alternative lyre, June 5, 2009

I have a nice trumpet that does not include a bracket for dropping in a standard trumpet lyre. I didn't want a lyre that clamps on to the tuning slide, either. (The ones that you tighten with a thumb screw are awful, FYI.) So I bought one of these on a friend's recommendation.

It works very well. The lyre is very secure once it's clamped on to the bell, and it can hold lots of pieces of music. My only criticisms are:

1) It's rather heavy compared to a regular lyre, and
2) It requires care to keep from scratching the bell of the trumpet with it, even though its clamps are rubber-coated.

Overall, I'm quite pleased with this lyre. It's not perfect, but it's better than any of the alternatives.

This is a great trumpet folder! The other lyres I had were always falling off. This one stays on very well! I would recommend this! Not a waste at all! If you are a trumpet player, please buy!!!!
