Quartzophone Crystal Lyre 432hz- Acrylic Frame

The Quartzophone L1 is a unique instrument which creates an unparalleled harmonic that you will find to be soothing, relaxing and meditative. The L1's dynamic tones resonate with all who experience it.

"The Quartzophone is the most beautiful instrument in my collection, without a doubt. As beautiful and pure as its appearance, the sounds are truly magical and ethereal. The depth, purity and clarity of tone are unmatched and the vibrations are both joyful and serene. This is an essential tool for space clearing and therapeutic work of all genres. Most importantly, it is an invaluable self-healing tool-it induces a meditative state within seconds. It is and remains one of my most treasured possessions."

Created by Gaudry Normand of Mine Cristal in Canada, the new 3-D, arced design is ergonomic and makes it easy and comfortable to hold and play. It rests comfortably on your arm or can be played on a table. It is slim, has smooth curves and is extremely easy to play.

Playing the Quartzophone L1

No, you do not need to be a musician. Most of those who purchase a Quartzophone L1 are not musicians. The L1 can be played on its own or with other musical instruments including singing bowls, tuning forks or any orchestral or native instruments. Use the L1 for group meditations, at yoga studios, meditation centers, alternative healing sessions and spiritual gatherings. Many will play at solo concerts or with other musicians.

For those with a musical background, the Quartzophone L1 has the eight notes in the octave of the C major scale tuned to 432 Hz. Each tube is perfect pitch (within +- 5 cents), true tone for those familiar with singing bowls. If you are working with alternative health, the L1 works directly with the major chakra centers, root to crown.

Included with Each Quartzophone L1

• A padded carrier with handles and a shoulder strap.
• A specially designed reusable transport box
• An acrylic display stand
• Two felt-covered round ended strikers

About the Mallets

The Quartzophone L1 comes with two felt-covered round ended strikers. This special design creates a pure and powerful tone and prevents unwanted noises like you might get with singing bowls. By simply tapping lightly on the tubes and by gliding the striker over several tubes, the player can easily create a sustained synergy of sound, a “crystal symphony!”

Displaying the Quartzophone L1

Each instrument comes with a clear, sturdy acrylic stand. The stand has two metal pegs which fit in to small holes at the base of the instrument to ensure that it does not slide off.

Service & Support

Once in awhile a tube may break. Sometimes the cat knocks it over, very often though it is the husband. The Quartzophone is designed so that you can easily replace a tube in about 15 minutes. Replacement tubes come directly from Mine Cristal in Quebec usually in 7-10 days. This is important because knockoffs from China and now from Europe require you to send their instrument back for repairs at your expense or, in many cases cannot be repaired at all. Replacing a Quartzophone tube may seem daunting but it is very easy. We encourage you to contact us if you would like us to step you through the process via FaceTime or Zoom.

Technical Specs

The Quartzophone L1 has eight pure quartz tubes (99.9% quartz crystal), tuned to eight pure tones, similar to the white keys on a piano. It is permanently in tune, regardless of the ambient climatic conditions. Guitar keys, guitar strings and special metal pins firmly hold and suspend the pure crystal tubes. This unique structure gives optimal vibration space to the tubes and creates a unique, divine sound!
