Genshin Impact - How to get the Windsong Lyre and play music - Venti

Like most festivals, the Windblume Festival in Genshin Impact is a time for celebration. While this festival in Mondstadt is traditionally about offering Windblumes to the Anemo Archon and giving gifts to your loved ones, celebrations won’t always be complete without some good music.

And what better way to create music in the City of Freedom than by playing the Windsong Lyre? This traditional instrument in Mondstadt is described as “an instrument of incredible workmanship that will surely produce moving music when played by able hands.”

However, how do you obtain this instrument and how exactly can you make music with it in-game?

How to get the Windsong Lyre

The Windsong Lyre is an item in Genshin Impact that can be used as a gadget. Earlier players of the game would have obtained this item during the Invitation of Windblume, the Windblume Festival Event in Version 1.4.

However, if you missed this event, you can still obtain it by purchasing it from Marjorie’s shop (With Wind Comes Glory) for Mora x150,000. Note that you need to choose “I’d like to get some special souvenirs, please” when talking to her. Below is Marjorie’s location in Mondstadt.

The range of this in-game musical instrument is from C3 to B5. However, this does not include sharp or flat notes. Moreover, the note names are in sol-fa syllables (e.g. do, re, mi) instead of letter names such as C for do and D for re.

How to play music using the Windsong Lyre

To use the Windsong Lyre, you will first need to equip it from your Inventory. You can find this item under the Gadget section. Once equipped, you simply need to press the corresponding button for using the Windsong Lyre to access the notes.

If you wish to play a song smoothly on the Windsong Lyre, we do NOT recommend playing the game using a controller. With the controller, you can only access one octave at a time and need to switch between octaves as shown below.

On the other hand, below is how it should look when you use the keyboard, showing all the notes from C3 to B5. While you can click on the notes using your mouse, there is a shortcut key for each. You can see these shortcut keys on the upper left corner of the screen. If you play the game on mobile, you should also be able to see all the notes but with the exception of the shortcut keys, of course.

Now, you can play any song you like, provided that it does not require any sharps or flats.
