From my 11 year old:I have really enjoyed using it. It does need to be tuned a few times before you can play it, and you have to be careful so you don't break the strings, but I didn't have any trouble. It is easy to play and comfortable to hold. I would definitely recommend it for beginners in music. I wouldn't recommend getting a lyre with more strings if you are just beginning. It was worth the price and I am glad I got it.

This is my first harp, but I have experience with other instruments - especially stringed instruments. It sounds amazing. Very sharp, full tones. The only thing that really worried me was tuning it the first time. Some of the tuning bolts were stripping the wood a bit and I was worried the bolts would just rip out under too much tension. Not a problem at all, just some barely noticeable cosmetic defects from manufacturing. Last thing about tuning: it's a wooden instrument, so it does take time before it holds a tuning. Something to help with a beginner's first tune (it will take 20-30 mins), when it arrives just unzip the case and leave it to adjust to your house's ambient temperature for about 15-60 mins if you can wait that long. It will give the wood a chance to settle quite a bit, preventing more detuning than you will ever know. If you have a guitar tuner (Snarks are still the bomb), or even a piano nearby, that will make tuning easier. After the first time I tuned it, I only have to tune it once before a session, which is desirable. It's tuned to C Major, which just makes randomly plucking the strings pretty fun on its own. It does come with a book of beginner songs and they're fun to go through too. The strings are tied unevenly, but it's really not a big deal. I barely notice it, I'll just wait til it's time to change strings before correcting it. It's a budget Lyre, but it's a rather good one. I love it so far.

Really nice instrument, sounds good, is easy to tune, and the bag makes it very portable, but the craftsmanship is kind of mediocre in places. Most of the strings are spaced unevenly and are at different heights and the finish is rough in places. Overall, those barely change how playable this is, and I'd recommend it as an easy to learn starter instrument.
