How to choose
Match the lyre to your specific instrument, since mounting points differ across the family.
Beginner
A student marching for the first time should get the lyre that matches their exact instrument, such as the Conn Selmer 1708 Clarinet Ring Lyre or Conn Selmer 1759 Flute Wrist Lyre. Practice attaching and removing it a few times before the first rehearsal to avoid fumbling on the field.
Intermediate
A regular marching player should choose a bendable option like the Conn Selmer 5806 or 5809 Universal Bendable Lyre if their instrument does not have a dedicated lyre listed here. Adjust the bend to hold music at a comfortable reading angle before you start marching.
Expert
An experienced marching musician managing several instruments should keep instrument-specific lyres like the Conn Selmer 608N Alto/Tenor Saxophone Lyre and 699 Sousaphone Lyre on hand rather than relying on universal clamps. Check the lyre's grip regularly, since a loose fit can drop music mid-performance.

About Lyres
A lyre clips onto an instrument to hold sheet music while marching, freeing both hands for playing. Different instruments need different lyre shapes and mounting points, from ring lyres on clarinet to bendable universal lyres on brass.
This page is mostly Conn Selmer, covering lyres sized for clarinet, flute, trombone, saxophone, sousaphone and baritone or tuba, alongside a British Band Professional Clarinet Lyre for an alternative fit.
