- I have been away from my lyre for while so when I picked it up to play I found it out of tune.
I wanted to tune it then remembered how hard it was when I first had this-
So here it is!! This is how to do it.
Hope this will help.... ;)
And if you want a lyre for yourself, here are some links!! ;)

I recently got a lyre and I'm so thankful I found your video's, they've been helping me play my 10 string lyre and i'm honestly so glad I came across you
P.S
For anyone who couldn't find the app she uses, Tuner - Pitched (Orange tuning fork icon) is what I (android user) Use
Thank you for this info!!!!!!!! I will pin this and hope it is ok?!

Please can you tell what is the note for each string.... I am trying to tune many broken strings.... I don't believe I have the right notes to where. Sorry brand new to musical instruments.

@@SnoopyholicsTealog ty so much , I have been looking and could not find an informative answer. 💖❤❤❤❤💖
Have fun, keep on playing, you will get better!!! 🙂👍
@@SnoopyholicsTealog I got it tunned... omg 2 days and 4 strings later.... I'll do much better in the future. I plan on using this as a was to calm my soul and make my future grandbabies smile.
Awwwwwwwe that is so sweet of you!!!!!! There are quite a few songs you can play with this. Don't forget you can tune them in slightly different note as well. ;)
Thx so much!! I recently want to buy a lyre but I never knew how to tune it... Now i know how to!
Yay!!!!! Keeping your lines on tune is very important. :)
Im gonna recently order a 16 string lyre so I needed to prepare this really helped me
Super helpful video, thank you a lot! I am thinking about starting to play the celtic lyre too but could you possibly give some basic information for beginners? Like how to get started, where to buy one, where you maybe find sheets or helpful tutorials? It would be amazing if you could help me out a bit, thank you! :)
Hello, Febe! It is a great choice....playing lyre brought me lots of joy. :) I bought it from amazon.com and eBay is good too. I can't read musical note.....so I do it my way and ok, I will make video about it soon...for now ua-cam.com/video/9ykfMC5uvsc/v-deo.html this is tutorial I made on How to play lyre. Check out my play list Playing Lyre ua-cam.com/play/PLMXWF4o5l7ChdHIUjH7f_bOyecCoGDqkF.html too. Thank you!!!!
I order this one from amazon, I’m really excited,’ it could posible this tuning from guitar tuner? Or ukulele tuner?
That must be exciting! :) For tuning that small tool will be delivered with the instrument and if you are talking about tuner for sounds, any tuner will work no problem.
Snoopyholic's Tealog thanks a lot for information, I can’t wait for it I’m so exiting 😊
You're welcome and enjoy your lyre days!!!! 👍🤩
Hello and thank you for your video. What app do you recommend for Android users?
Hey~~ according to Necrophae, Tuner - Pitched (Orange tuning fork icon) is good option!!!
I found one today at an Amazon resale r for 7$ and I didn't even know what it was thank you so much for this
That's a great deal!! Grab it and have fun with it!!
Is this a right handed one pls wher e teh low string s are furthest away from your body pls?Thanks
I am right handed and if I grab it thicker strings start from my body side....
Hi snoopyholic where did u get ur lyre from? Is there a link? Would be really helpful
I got it from amazon.com. search for lyre there and you will find a few result. Good luck!!
I have to replace the strings, I don't understand a thing ... where can I buy some? what model, what diameter and where to place them on the instrument?
search "lyre string" on google/ amazon/ eBay etc and you will find what you want. I made a video on changing it....ua-cam.com/video/7Fyev44cYSU/v-deo.html
do you have to leave the strings to tighten when you first get it? if so, how long?
I give them couple of hours after tune them and let them adjust a bit.
Thank you ❤️
Thanks for the idea of getting an app to tell the tune!
Let's enjoy hobbies and keep them under our budget!!!
Can you tell what type of tuner do I get? The ones I ordered online were too big. I could not find a tuner specifically for my Kinnor lyre.
I use application called "Entonal Tuner" and it works well. :) I think any other tuner you can download will do. Because you always carry your phone around you anyway.
@@SnoopyholicsTealog not if you don't have a phone .
helllo, please, could you help me? I'm still having some trouble tunning my new lyre probably because I know nothing about music theory and all the videos I find are not so specific and I've already searched everywhere. I have a 16 strings lyre, my question is: the first string on the lyre should be a C4 in the tunning app, right? but the second string should be a C4# or already a D4? and then is goes C4, D4, E4, F4 for the strings or the correct is C4, C4#, D4, D4# etc? sorry for the stupid question I just don't know anything about music yet and I just want to learn ;-;
It all depends on what kind of song you will play!! Try to find out all the notes and see how you gotta tune.....it is just simple and easy. Nothing is fixed. Just be careful when you got higher, string can break. It is not stupid at all that is just the first step to start playing. So make things short, if it has # you can put it where it needs to be. If not, don't worry. What you have to focus is how many sounds the song you are going to play. Hope I made sense and it helped. Happy play!! :)
Hello can I use electric guitar strings to replace them or do you recomend a specific set?
I think it is ok to do it...also what kind of string to use depending on what kind of sound result you would like!!!! good luck!! :)
@@SnoopyholicsTealog Thank you very much!
Cool, did you discover how different strings have different sound profiles? If this is true, which is the best sounding string you discovered? Some cool ones?
@@pharaohsmagician8329 I didn't experimented that much but acoustic guitar strings sounded nice and had a little bit more ustain than electric guitars. And for convenience a set of twelve strings (for twelve strings guitars) was cheaper than buying individual sets. But as far as i know the more tension the brighter the sound
Do you have any songs for a 12 string lyre? and would the tuning be c,d,e,f,g,a,b,c,d,e,f,g for a 12 string lyre?
If you check out my vids with this lyre they should cover....and tuning is up to you! unless there is not too much gap, code shouldn't be hard. Good luck!!! 👍🏼
@@SnoopyholicsTealog Ok thank you!
Thank you so much
I am glad it helped!!!! :)
This is what I needed to know how to tune the lyre. Thanks mam ":)!!!
thank you!!!! :) any other thing you want to know?
Can you write the musical scale in order to be able to tune it?
It is C-D-E-F-G-A-B-C-D-E
@@SnoopyholicsTealog thank you !
I've watched a lot of videos about lyres, but I'm still scared to tune it. As far as I know, strings are very brittle and can easily break during tuning. So should I tune the lyre the first time or would it be better to stretch it little by little until all the strings are stretched enough?
Hmmm that makes sense too. Yeah when I got the lyre for the first time I play with it just to have fun for a while before I get to tuning. So I guess that will be a good idea- However strings break anyway if you play long enough for the condition of wood and humidity....I guess.
@@SnoopyholicsTealog Thanks for the reply, anyway!
how can I tune it if I don't have the tunning tool?
You should get one. Maybe you can try with other tool such as pliers but it is less precise?!
I'm sorry to ask... I notice the wrenches comes in different sizes and when I ask the questions to the company that also distributes lyre harps they only mentioned that they only give the harps alone... I'm scared T_T
Do you by any chance know what size the wrench should be for a 10 string lyre harp?
Hello! I am sorry you feel like you are in trouble. Strange they do not provide you wrench for
tuning though. Anyway you can find all different size of wrenches comes in a set not too expensive so one of them must fit to lyre. Cheap set would work so just get it. Do not worry or fear!!! Just play and enjoy the music. :)
@@SnoopyholicsTealog
Thank you so much. I wound up just canceling the order bc I see they only specialize in kalimba but they dont really have anything for the lyre harps other than the instruments itself. X.x... I found another at amazon with the wrench and the manual together but I still see that not a lot of searches have any way of explaining what a lyre music sheet looks like (or how I should read it). X.x
ah, that part, I can't help either...I am a musical note blind and I just play songs making them sound like the original song. Why don't you try like me? Just get whatever instrument you want and have fun with them? Having a program or application like Garage Band could help your process.
@@SnoopyholicsTealog
I'll try with that then. I used to own a small version of the harp (It looks like a harp but sounds like your kalimba). My fear is not knowing the chords like c and g or such xmx.
meh, who cares?! just have fun!!! good luck!!! :)
Can you post the link to the Tuning app please ❤❤
you can search "intatune" in the app store. im not sure if they has it in android. 🤔
@@SnoopyholicsTealog question it’s not in the App Store for some reason, I’m typing in intatune but it’s not showing up
@@toxicxrosesyt7862 For andorid, Necrophae recommended Tuner-Pitched and for IOS user Tuner-lite is OK option(free app) and that's what I use.
@@SnoopyholicsTealog tysm!
감사합니다. 주니어 오르페우스를 노려보겠습니다.
화이팅입니다~
Hi I can't find intatune in the app store, are there any other alternatives?
Oh!! Maybe it is only for Ipad....I also use tuner lite on my phone.
No I think it fine
ok
