What Sets This Lyre Apart

Who Is This Lyre Harp For

The Shamann Lyre big size 19 strings Ocean Deep is the right choice for intermediate players, sound therapists, and meditation practitioners who need a broader note range than entry-level lyres offer. Its diatonic tuning makes it forgiving for self-taught players who want to play recognisable melodies without reading sheet music. Sound healers value the hollow-body resonance, which produces sustained mid-range tones ideal for relaxation sessions.

The Lyre Tradition

Lyres have been played for thousands of years, with roots in ancient Greek and Egyptian cultures where they were used both for music and therapeutic ritual. Modern sound-healing practice draws on this heritage, using the instrument's mid-range frequencies (200–2,000 Hz) to support alpha brain-wave states linked with deep relaxation. This 19-string model continues that lineage in a portable form.
