A Pentatonic Lyre for Growing Hands and Confident Musical Exploration

The Auris Junior Lyre (model LKP) is a 7-string pentatonic children’s lyre crafted in Sweden from solid maple wood. Slightly larger than early beginner models, it offers a fuller resonance and expanded range while remaining beautifully balanced in young hands.

Tuned in a pentatonic scale from d’ to e’’, this lyre allows children to explore freely without discordant tones. The open interval structure supports intuitive playing, musical sensitivity, and improvisation—making it especially well suited for early grades, home music practice, and classroom or therapeutic settings.

Seven precision-tuned steel strings (d’–e’–g’–a’–b’–d’’–e’’) create clarity across both lower and higher notes. The solid maple body is finished with eco-friendly shellac priming, protecting the wood while enhancing warmth and tonal resonance.

Care and Tuning

The Junior Lyre includes a T-shaped LSN tuning wrench (square hole) for accurate adjustments. Strings may be gently wiped after playing and occasionally conditioned with a small amount of string oil to reduce oxidation, particularly during seasonal humidity shifts.

When restringing becomes necessary, select replacement strings specifically sized for the Auris Junior Lyre (LKP) to maintain correct pitch, string tension, and sound quality.
