How do you put on a french horn lyre?

Answer 1

Darling, putting on a French horn lyre is as easy as putting on your big girl pants. You simply attach it to the bell of your horn using the provided clips or screws, making sure it's secure enough to withstand your fabulous playing. Just remember, confidence is key, so strut your stuff and show that lyre who's boss!

Answer 2

To put on a French horn lyre, first, loosen the screw on the lyre to create enough space to attach it to the instrument. Slide the lyre onto the bell of the French horn, making sure it is securely in place. Tighten the screw to hold the lyre in position, ensuring it is at a comfortable angle for reading music while playing.

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.

Answer 4

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 =)
