Handcrafted Celtic Lyres

Welcome to Sam Irwin Lyres. We focus on making affordable lyres for sale to the world-wide lyre-playing community and on spreading the use of the instrument as far and wide as possible.

Our instruments range from inexpensive children's lyres to exclusive but competitively priced master lyres.

All of our lyres for sale are inspired by the award-winning and internationally known Celtic Lyre, originally designed in 1994
