Testimonials

Kind words and demos from some of our clients, we'd love to have yours here too



Chris, I love it. The sound is enchanting, looks amazing, holds tune, easy to play, perfect size & weight, etc.
My only complaint is that I can't put it down! Seriously couldn't be happier. Sorry for the brevity but the lyre beckons...
