Size: 16 Strings Lyre Harp
I love it. I've been unable to play my many guitars due to my hands not cooperating. This sounds great. A note for people who might benefit from tuning suggestions: 1. Don't rush to tune it the day you get it. Take it out of the box and let it set out for at least a day to get up to the "room temp" in your house. I got a wood looking stand, which is two pieces that you slot together to make a curved guitar or small instrument stand. Works perfectly on the counter. 2. When you go to tune it the first time, know that it is going to take you about an hour to do it. You want to tune it very carefully, in TINY, less than 1/32 of an inch movements. 3. The tuning it "set for" starts with the largest string, on the left, as a "G" string. So, it's: G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A 4. I put my electric tuner, DEAD CENTER of the thinnest part of the lyre, clamped on right behind the strings. 5. Put your tuning tool on the peg, holding it in your hand like you would the handle of a mug of coffee. Put your THUMB on the peg. 6. You want to tune "up" to your note, not down from past your note. NOTE: The very first time you tune the strings, they will be "falling out of tune" quickly, as they stretch to their full length. This is normal. For THAT reason, when you do your first series of tunings, once you have "hit" the note, don't worry or try to "tune it back down " if you went slightly over the perfect center mark on your tuner, into the high side. Why, because, in this FIRST TUNING session, it's going to relax and drop to the low side of the center mark on your tuner. You will fix all that at the end of tuning all the strings. You might be fixing that for a couple days, until the strings have finished stretching. 7. Start on the heavy, "wound" "G" string on the left. Make TINY, TINY, MOVEMENTS. Squeeze your hand tight on the handle of tool, while your thumb rests on the peg. You will feel imperceptible movement on the peg. You do NOT want to give it a sweeping crank. It doesn't take much, once you are in range, to go way overboard. If you crank away in big movements, it's harder to tune and you could break a string. 8. Once you feel movement, remove the tool and pluck the string to see what the tuner says to you. Put the tool back on and repeat until you get the "G" string tuned. 9. Pluck the next "A" string and tell yourself "This is "A" as you run your finger UP the string to the peg. Doing that sounds stupid, but, if you have ever been on the "wrong peg" for the string you are plucking, and you keep cranking away, because, what you pluck and what you SEE on the tuner is not going to be match right if you are plucking the 3rd string but you are cranking away on the 4th tuning peg. I learned that the hard way while tuning a 12 string guitar. 10. So, tune that "A" string, then the next "B" string, the "C" string, the "D" string, the "E, the "F" and the "G" string. If you have trouble believing your tuner, it helps to pluck the strings you have already tuned, up to the one you are working on, to "Hear" where you are. 11. You are next going to tune the first of the thin, "unwound" strings, which is an "A" string. NOTE: The "unwound", thinner, strings, will break if wound too tightly. So, if you give it a bunch of sweeping cranks, instead of imperceptible movements, that might be your result, as the thinner strings require much LESS of an adjustment before they change notes. 12. After you tune that "A" string, go back to the FIRST, heavy, "G" and gently tune your way back all those strings to that "A" string you just tuned. TINY movements, as it doesnt take much pressure to change a note at that point. NOTE: As you retune the thin strings for the SUBSEQUENT times, it takes even LESS pressure, so, be careful. 13. Tune the "B" and "C" and "D" strings. 14. Go BACK to the first string again, and gently bring all the other strings back into tune, clear up to the "D" string you just tuned. 15. Tune the "E" and "F" string. 16. Go BACK to the first string, AGAIN, and bring them all into tune. BY NOW, YOU WILL NOTICE that you ARE able to get dead center on your tuner screen, without wavering over, as the strings are stretching and holding the notes better. 17. Tune the "G" and "A" strings. 18. Go BACK to the first "G" string and adjust the tuning again. 19. Play the instrument for awhile. Then, go back and adjust the tuning again. 20. Put it away on ata stand or some manner of tablet stand, to keep it at from having the bag or anything else accidentally touching the strings, and, allow it to rest at room temp to continue its "New String" stretching. When you pick it up tomorrow, and, thereafter, you will notice that the strings are staying in tune. Remember to never CRANK on these strings. Just tightening your hand on the handle, while it's on the peg, will cause imperceptible movements. For me, I would rather tune UP to a note than go back and forth, up and down, trying to hit the note perfectly. Always go up. The reason I did this, at length, wss because I read a bunch of comments for people who got discouraged or quit trying to tune their instruments, or, thought their instrument was defective. ( I read those reviews cumulatively across all brands of lyre reviews that I read). So, I though this might help somebody with their decision to try this kind instrument.

My wife is a harpist and volunteers to play at nursing homes/hospice. She walks through the halls playing and this is light weight and has an acceptable quality of sound. She loves it.

UPDATED MY REVIEW, AGAIN A seam started to split after 4 weeks. There is a seam at the top near the middle A, the tuner pin is placed almost exactly on the seam. My lyre has begun to split. The product description says it is "carved from whole solid mahogany" , but it isn't. I emailed the company but haven't gotten a response, after 2 emails. I ordered a second one and confirmed, it has the same seam, and the seam is more obvious because the two sides of the harp have two different wood grains. The sound of the first harp was lovely, I'm not as impressed with the sound of the second one. ** I have now gotten in touch with Aklot through Amazon and they are working on the problem. The gentleman from Aklot told me I don't have to worry about my Amazon return window, they will resolve the problem for me. Thank goodness, I can't wait to hear back from them. In the meantime I continue to play this lyre and the sound is beautiful. Being new to the instrument, I'm having a hard time adjusting to how to hold the harp. The body is thick, from all angles, so it requires a good grip if playing it upright. A very nice thing about the design though, it can also be played flat in your lap or on a table. A great point about this design when playing upright, most of the strings can be reached from both sides once you've become more accomplished playing the instrument, perhaps a stand would be useful at that point. When trying to decide which harp to choose, I watched many YouTube videos and this 16-string Aklot Bowl Harp was featured in many of them. It gave me the opportunity to hear the lovely sound that it produces and to confirm that it can indeed be played 2-handed from front and back. As with anything new, the first time tuning it was a bit challenging but subsequent tunings have been a breeze. I know from my experience playing the Ukulele, strings take a little time to stretch and settle. I purchased a hard case to protect the harp, you will want to consider doing the same, the included velvet cover is not sufficient. The lyre harp is not difficult to play once you understand how to tune it and you understand the octave range of the instrument and how harp music is notated. You will have a wonderful time learning and playing this instrument. It's everything you want a lyre harp to sound like. I've increased my rating based on his promise and will update further once final resolution is achieved.

I'm updating my review of this Lyre after the seller replaced the instrument at no cost. The new instrument has better tuning pegs and stays in tune fairly well. It has a nice sound and pleasing tone. Here is my original review: The tuning pegs don't keep the strings taught, they are too loose, and the instrument can't be tuned. Very poor quality.
