Sam Irwin Lyres
Lyres for children and students
Pentatonic or diatonic 12-string
This instrument has been designed to allow children affordable access to a beginner's lyre. Constructed completely around the needs of the child, this is a light and easy to hold lyre with a delicate and sweet tone. It can be re-tuned to the diatonic scale as the child's playing progresses.
The wood is a strong birch laminate (shown) and comes with the beautiful Sam Irwin Lyres standard silk finish.
Penatonic tuning: D’ - E’’’
Diatonic tuning: C - G’’
Price: £325
Student 30-string
This lyre has been specially designed to allow students access the string layout of the full lyre. This is a major advantage because it means parents do not have to commit to larger and more expensive instruments outside their price range while the child progresses. The light, sweet tone is a joy to listen to.
The wood is a strong birch laminate and comes with the beautiful Sam Irwin Lyres standard silk finish.
Chromatic tuning: G - C’’
Price: £875
Student 37-string
This lyre has been specially designed for advancing students who want the additional range and tone but who may not be ready to take on a full master instrument. The size is manageable and comfortable; the tone deeper and more resonant than the other student lyres in the range.
The wood is a strong birch laminate and comes with the beautiful Sam Irwin Lyres standard silk finish.
Chromatic tuning: E - E’’’
Price: £1200
