There are two different kinds of Flute lyres. The first kind clips onto the flute itself. Just make sure that this kind has rubber covers so that it does not scratch the flute. Just clip the lyre so that the music is positioned within eyesight, usually at the end of the head joint or the very top of the body.

The second and more common type of lyre is sometimes referred to as the "flutist's friend." This lyre attaches to the arm of the flute player. The curved plastic part should sit on the forearm and then the strap should be pulled under the arm and looped around the top of the plastic part.

Most french horns aren't made to use lyres. In Marching Bands and such, horn players use what's called a Mellophone, which is essentially a Trumpet pitched in the key of F, and those have a little spot to put the lyre in a similar way that trumpets do. However, I have seen a single F horn that had a hole for a lyre, and it was located near the pinky look where the left hand grips the horn.

However, if you really wanted to use a lyre for a french horn and you didn't really care about the condition of it, you could get something soldered onto the horn that a lyre could go through or just use duck tape.

Hope this helps =)

Where do you apply cork grease on your french horn?

the French Horn is a brass instrument. When you put in together you simply put the mouthpiece in the neck and your done. Cork grease is used for wind instruments like the clarinet. when you put together a clarinet you put the mouthpiece into the neck, but the mouth piece is lined with cork so u also apply cork grease (hence the name, "cork" grease). But seeing as the French Horn has no cork you do NOT need cork grease.
