Abstract
A simplified lyre holder for flutes is provided which allows full adjustment of both the lyre and support rod therefor, and has specialized securing structure for simultaneously gripping the flute and support rod with manipulation of only a single thumbscrew to greatly facilitate adjustment of the lyre to suit a particular flute player. The holder assembly includes a resilient, unitary, generally C-shaped flute-gripping element having a pair of laterally projecting, bored arms; one of the arms is grooved to adjustably receive the end of the support rod, and a single thumbscrew is positioned within the arm bores such that a simple tightening of the latter serves to lock the assembly in place in a single operation.
