Instrument music lyre

摘要

A lyre for retaining musical copy or other leaf-style items is particularly suited for marching band brass instruments. The configuration incorporates the use of a saddle which is selectively positioned on the instrument to permit a user to read the copy in a hands-free scenario. Straps are employed to cinch the saddle into place on the instrument while a lyre extends perpendicularly from the saddle. This particular lyre is designed to accommodate a larger amount of copy.
