How to Attach a Clarinet Lyre Ring

Clarinet lyres are a part of a clarinet that is easy to assemble and useful for those who play a clarinet in a marching band. The clip at the top of the lyre opens so that you can attach a music booklet, allowing the musician to easily sort through music. Lyre's are useful for playing new music. Learning to attach the ring properly is crucial to prevent damage to the instrument.
