Amplate 500XLG Extra Long Stem Tuba/Sousaphone Lyre

If you play tuba or sousaphone in a marching band, finding a lyre that actually fits your instrument can be a real challenge. The Amplate (AP&M) 500XLG addresses that problem directly with an extra-long straight stem — giving you more material to work with when standard-length lyres won't reach your lyre holder. It's a simple, practical solution that's been a go-to for low brass players in marching programs for years.

The 500XLG features a .144" square stem and a gold brass plate finish. Because low brass instruments vary so much in their lyre holder placement, the extra stem length also gives you the flexibility to carefully bend it to the angle your specific instrument requires — handy for players who've had trouble finding an off-the-shelf bent-stem lyre that fits. Just be sure to use proper tools and take appropriate precautions if you choose to customize the shape.
