I've tuned it a bit too much (trying to play songs with flats/sharps in them) and now several of the middle strings won't stay tuned. I'm having to take the pegs out and DIY fix them based on reddit advice by putting wood glue in the holes, letting it dry, then re-stringing it, essentially making the peg holes tighter. (Originally I tried putting paper in the peg holes which hasn't worked, so wood glue is the next thing I'm trying.) Re-stringing it is doable even by someone who isn't experienced, but still very difficult. If the wood glue fix doesn't work, I guess I can take it to a professional to fix all the pegs, but it kinda sucks as I was enjoying playing it at first, but not if it's out of tune. If you only kept it tuned to the base notes, I don't think you'd have this problem. But tuning it to sharps or flats, I think you may get this problem pretty quick. I didn't over-tune the strings, just one step up or down, I think it's just tuning them too frequently caused this. Original review: Arrived with no damage. I'm completely new to stringed instruments and I agree that this is a good instrument for beginners. You can play a lot of songs on it, you'll just have to tune some of the strings to sharp/flat if the song requires. The initial tuning will be the most offputting part for beginners. Keep in mind that you'll have to re-tune it every day or every other day for a week or so before it will stay in tune; the strings just need time to settle. I found it much easier to look up "16-string lyre harp tuning" on youtube and tune it by ear to a video, rather than trying to use a tuning app on my phone. I wasn't sure if I'd feel motivated to play this, so I wanted to buy this cheaper model. I have actually wanted to play it after getting it tuned because it's easy to pick up and play. And there's no definitive way you have to hold it; just play it however feels comfortable. Overall I'm glad I got this and I think it will be good as a beginner instrument if you want an inexpensive hobby. I actually find it fun and calming to play it, even when I'm just practicing a song over and over again. Review: Excellent! - Beautifully rich resonant sound. Tuning was no finickier than typical for string instruments, and I’ve been very impressed by how well it has held tuning. Excellent performance, especially impressive at this price. ## Features - 【HIGH QUALITY MATERIAL】-Donner 16 strings lyre harp is made by solid mahogany resonance box and carbon steel keys with clear and gentle sound.

This lyre harp is designed for beginners—no complex music theory required. It uses a 10-string pentatonic scale, which is stable in pitch and easy to play. So it’s the great choice for anyone starting with string instruments. **Q: Do I need to buy extra tools for tuning?** A: No extra tools needed! The set already comes with a tuning wrench, and it also supports phone app tuning (Gstrings for Android, InsTuner for Apple)—super easy to use. **Q: Will it crack with long-term use, and do the strings break easily?** A: The harp body is made of AAA solid mahogany resonance box. The material is hard, with stable grain, and has undergone drying treatment—so it won’t crack or deform easily even with long-term use. **Q: How good is the quality of the included gig bag?** A: The included gig bag is a high-density black style, made with wear-resistant and water-resistant fabric. Inside, a soft lining helps cushion minor impacts, block dust, and repel light water splashes—great for everyday protection. **Q: Is this lyre harp suitable for teaching kids music?** A: It’s very suitable for kids! It measures only 15.35×9.45×1.18“ and is lightweight—kids can hold it easily with their small hands without feeling burdened. The pentatonic scale has a harmonious tone, which helps cultivate kids’ music perception. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for beginners, need a week to tune it! *by C***N on October 24, 2025* EDIT: Won't stay tuned a couple months in.
