Auris Musical Toys>Pentatonic Children’s Harp – Kinder Lyre

This Beautiful Pentatonic Children’s Harp Is Has Been Handcrafted In Sweden Of Solid Maple Wood And Was Designed By A Waldorf Music Specialist And Maker Of Fine Instruments.

His Goal In Designing This Instrument Was To Create A Pentatonic Harp With A Bright, Clear Tone Enhanced By The Tone Of The Maple.

Commonly Used In Waldorf Education, The Pentatonic Harp (Also Known As A Kinderharp Or LYre) Is An Ideal Instrument For Accompanying Singing And Stories With Young Children. Because Every Note Is In Harmony, There Is No Such Thing As A Wrong Note, And When The Harp Is Tuned Properly, Every Note Will Sound Beautiful. No Musical Experience Or Reading Ability Necessary!

It Can Be Played By A Parent Or Teacher For A Child (Wonderful To Play At Rest Time Or Bedtime!), Or Gently And Carefully Played By Children Over Three. We Recommend That Adults Model Playing The Harp Before Giving It To A Child To Play, And Supervising Its Use With Children Three And Under.

This Instrument Is Tuned In The Seven-Tone Pentatonic Scale: D’-E’-G’-A’-H’-D”-E”

Unlike Some Pentatonic Lyres, This Model Has Been Designed With An Opening Large Enough To Allow It To Be Played With Both Hands Simultaneously.

If You Are Inexperienced With Tuning A Stringed Instrument, We Recommend The Use Of An Electronic Tuner. The Video Below Determines How To Tune Your Harp.
