"An unparalleled resource for any serious musicologist. Lyra's Folio provided access to materials I couldn't find anywhere else in Europe."

— Nails Kervick

The instrument restoration was simply breathtaking. They brought my 18th-century viola back to life with an attention to historical accuracy that is rare even in specialist circles. Dublin is lucky to have them.

Dominique Aspil Soloist & Orchestral Advisor

Why did we choose Lyra's Folio for our university collection's assessment? Because their curatorial integrity is unmatched. They don't just catalogue; they document the soul of the work.
