" It (Rose Lyre) is such an exquisite instrument. I am constantly amazed at how well it holds it's tuning, only needing minor adjustments most of the time. ...the lyre has just sounded better and better with time. It is extremely expressive and I am constantly finding new sounds and responses from it. Thank you.

"I meant to write you to tell you how beautiful the lyre" (Apollo Pentatonic Lyre) "is! I love it!! I have never played anything like it, yet it is so easy I could pick out songs right away. More importantly, I have never understood pentatonic music when I played it on the piano--it always seemed sort of bland and lifeless (and I love the piano!). As soon as I played a few songs, it clicked. I can now sing little songs spontaneously to the kids in the pentatonic mood."
Jolene, Massachusetts

"I had a concert in Okayama last week. On that day, I forgot bringing a dress for the concert! First, I was confused, but I think what I wear is not so important for music. All I can do is to sing with my lyre without any adornment. So I sang in a casual wear. People and I enjoyed the concert so much.This event taught me the most important thing is to sing from my heart. If the lyre is with me , it is enough for my music. People coming my concert for the first time were so moved with the tune of the lyre. I was so happy to see the gentle smile and tears of the people."

"The Rose Lyre that you made or our daughter, is absolutely wonderful. She is learning much, and I am on the verge of selling my guitar so I can order one for myself. The tone and workmanship are from another time and place, but the perhaps most incredible thing I notice is how natural the lyre is as an extension of a human being making music. It is as integral as the voice box to sing a song. Thanks for your care and expertise..."
