Lyre Rentals
/LANA’s Lyre Rental program offers a variety of beautiful rental lyres, providing the opportunity for players of all levels to rent before making an investment in buying a lyre. Many of our lyres are available through our rent-to-buy program, and we make every effort to match the right lyre with the right lyre player. Monthly fees for lyre rentals range from $25 to $35 per month, with the option to rent for two years before committing to purchase. A bonus to renting through our program is enrollment in the Lyre Connection program, which matches beginners with volunteer mentors!
The lyres we currently have available for rent are:
Choroi pentatonic children’s lyre with 7 strings
Rose small soprano student lyre with 27 strings (g-a’’)
Gartner small soprano student lyre with 27 strings (g-a’’)
Salem small alto lyre with 35 strings (G-f’’)
Gartner alto lyre with 38 strings (E-a’’)
Please contact Julia Elliott (juliabelliott@gmail.com or 978-771-7372) with any questions or to rent a lyre through our program.
Featured Rental Lyre
The Lyre Association is pleased to feature this special Salem small alto lyre through our rentals program. Built by Horst Nieder’s workshop in Germany, this small alto lyre is made of a variety of woods, including maple and elm. It has a warm, beautiful tone. This lyre has been lovingly maintained and well played by its previous owner. We are delighted to include this Salem small alto lyre in our inventory as we continue to expand our rental options for our members.
