You can make your own Kinder Lyre from our kits. The Cherry wood blank is shaped and pre-drilled ready for sanding. You finish sanding it, put on your finish of choice and fit the tuning pins, bridge and strings. The kit comes with full instructions, materials, hardware, tuning key and songbook.*

By now, thousands of parents and school children have successfully built their Kinder Lyre from our kits. No woodworking skills are needed. We are happy to set up your school or parent group with kits and instructions. We will eventually have a DVD available
