Great product.

I was really excited to get my Donner 16 string lyre. I had gotten a Donner 10 string lyre for Christmas. It is a great instrument, but there are a number of songs that can not be played because of not having enough strings. I ordered a 16 string of another brand. It was beautiful, but the tone could not compare to my 10 string. I returned it with Amazon's return service. When I got my Donner 16 string lyre I was not disappointed. Great mahogany finish, and a rich tone. Thanks for a great product.

Sound is ethereal

The quality of the wood is very good, and I feel at the price point it is fair. It is a lovely looking instrument that sounds amazing, and has good vibrato. It is comfortable to hold. It was a learning curve playing two different melodies with each hand but practice makes perfect. I would recommend getting a good tuner as you will need to tune it each time you play. It comes in a carrying case which is a plus and has a pocket on the front to keep extra strings (which it came with) and a tuner. Great campfire instrument. Would recommend to anyone even a beginner, there isn't too many or too little strings. Good all around lyre harp.

Pretty well made instrument, and a lot of fun to play!

So, I picked this up on a whim honestly (never played a lyre harp before), b/c it seemed kind of fun.The instrument itself is well made. It has a nice wood grain to it, and a nice satin finish to the wood. The hardware all seems solid, and the tuning pegs hold tuning well. I'm still figuring out how exactly how to play it, but once you get it tuned up, it is really fun to just pluck around on.The accessories that come with it (bag, tuning wrench, ect) all seem well made and do the job.The only complaint I really have with this is that the body of the instrument is too thick to put any of my clip on tuners, so I had to use a tuner app on my phone. I'll have to look around and see if I can find a clip on tuner that has a wider "mouth" to use with this I guess.

Bought the 7 String and already jonesing for the 10 string!

I was hesitant to buy this because there were reviews about how it was difficult to keep in tune. However, I the price was right and there was a coupon, so I decided to take a chance on the simplest possible version (the 7 string). And I LOVE IT! I've been noodling around with it for at least a half hour a day ever since I got it and have already played several songs (Auld Lang Syne, My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean, Taps, Buttons & Bows) that just fit perfectly in this range. My only complaint is with myself - that now I wish I'd sprung for the 10 string to give myself a few extra notes! But hey, my birthday's coming up so who knows? Anyway, it was very easy to tune (I just used my piano) and I just re-tune it every time I use it so don't worry about that part. Enjoy, have fun, and rest assured that even with "only" 7 strings you can make a lot of lovely music!

It is like playing a harp only smaller...

At first, I wasn't impressed. It arrived with a broken string out of the box and no instructions on how to replace it, though there were replacement strings included. However, I was able to replace it and then began the tuning process. Some reviewers have said that it is impossible to tune. That is not true. It is a challenge at first but that it to be expected with an instrument arriving through the mail or a delivery service like Amazon's. The first few days, I tuned it at least twice a day and now I tune it every couple of days or so and the adjustments are minor. It is much like tuning a harp except perhaps a bit fussier because the strings are shorter.Thus far, I am finding it easy to learn but am only playing one-handed for now. The sound seems good to my less-than-perfect-pitch ears and I can readily sound out simple songs or read music. My one little complaint is that the strings are not marked as they are with a regular harp but I saw a video that suggested marking C and F with markers. It has worked pretty well and this makes it easier to see where to place one's fingers if suddenly lost.In the end, I decided on 5 stars. It's a nice little instrument for a reasonable price. Often instruments like this are shown being played by children. It is not a toy and a younger child is not going to have a chance when it comes to tuning the instrument. With the aid of a patient adult, however, a musically inclined child might enjoy it but it is fine enough for adults.

Meh.

I play multiple instruments and generally know what I am getting into with a cheap instrument but this is silly. Pegs won’t hold a tune, stings breaking well before they reach the intended note (and I was super slow and gentle tuning it), restringing is a pain. I tried tuning an octave down to see if that helped but even that did nothing. Just poorly designed. I am returning this asap.Update: I exchanged it for a new one. This one holds tune well enough. It still cannot be tuned to the pitch the manual says and the strings just snap. It’s fine. Nothing great. I’d really give this 2.5 out of 5.
