Lyons Musical Instruments was originally started as an instrument rental business in 1928. Over the years of serving schools, a definite need for an elementary musical instrument provider emerged. In 1940, the Tonette, a small, plastic, end-blown flute, similar to the modern recorder, came into popularity as a pre-band music education instrument. After their success with the Tonette, Lyons published a new catalog of rhythm band and Orff instruments. For more than 80 years, Lyons has been committed to providing the highest-quality musical instruments and instructional materials to general music programs at the best possible price.
