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.

Free shipping within the continental US. Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico is only $75.

"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."

Maple Wood or Acrylic?

The L1 is designed with a curved acrylic frame while the Quartzophone H2 has a straight frame made with Canadian Birdseye maple. The decision on wood or acrylic is completely personal to your preferences. Both instruments play and create the same outstanding harmonics.

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.

Which Scale Should I Select, 432hz or 442hz?

432hz is most often selected by those who use the Quartzophone for meditation and health. 432hz is an earth frequency. The 442hz is often selected by muscians who play their instruments in the 440hz scale. That said, the harmonics created by the crystal harp are incredibly healing regardless of which scale you select. Practitioners report having great experiences with both frequencies.

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.

Traveling with the Quartzophone

The L1 comes with a thick padded carrier with foam fittings to secure and protect each tube in transit. The color of the carrier may vary. It is delivered inside a sturdy shipping box with a carry handle which can be reused. If you plan to travel with your Quartzophone L1 on a plane or baggage handler, we strongly recommend that you travel with the shipping box. The L1 will not fit in the overhead bin on airplanes or trains. The shipping box is about 29" x 9" x 26" or 73cm x 22cm x 66cm.

Patented Design & Authenticity

The Quartzophone L1 is a new and unique instrument, protected by utility patents in the USA and many other countries. There are knock offs so to ensure that you order a L1 with the highest quality, be sure the manufacturer is Mine Cristal and the instrument you receive has a design notice similar to the one below.

    Playing the crystal lyre has been the most beautiful experience for myself and others. I have played this during reiki sessions and the two pair very well together. Looking forward to many more sessions with friends, family and clients!

    Quartzophone L1

    Posted by Guy on Oct 2nd 2021

    I just recently received the Quartzophone L1. I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it to anyone else. It comes with everything you need to get started. In addition, this is very easy to play I had looked at some other cheaper versions of this (from China and Russia, etc.) , but after doing a little research, determined this one to be the better quality. This sounds every bit as good as the videos out there, made by Gaudry Normand (inventer).

    Lias magical Lyre

    Posted by Lia on Nov 2nd 2020

    As soon as I heard one played for the first time, I wanted one. I was drawn in by the way I felt it all the way through my body. I thought about it for about a month and took the plunge. I have it set up in my living room. Every time I walk past it, I play it even for just a couple of minutes and I am re-centered. I can't wait to see where this beautiful magical crystal harp will take me next.

    Absolutely Beautiful Instrument

    Posted by Vanessa on Oct 9th 2020

    I spent many months comparing different Crystal Harp’s online, noticing differences between others, trying to determine the sound/frequency differences, none can match this truly serene and beautiful high quality instrument. This was a very scary purchase for me especially for a beginner, but I knew that I had to have this piece because of the depth’s, clarity, and purity of tones. I was not disappointed whatsoever, this is truly a beautiful instrument, such long lasting harmonious tones that truly resonate beautifully within. Vanessa

    Amazing instrument!!!

    Posted by Taylor Brown on Jun 18th 2020

    The Quartzophone L1 not only sounds beautiful and angelic, it looks beautiful and angelic! The price was a HUGE stretch for me, but you get what you pay for. When I first started looking into these instruments (also known as crystal harps) I came across quite a few on amazon, etsy, and other places for around $500-$600 and I almost got one of those, but something didn’t feel right about them. They seemed to be largely made in China and on the few demo videos I saw, they sounded a bit off and the sound didn’t carry like in some other videos I saw (https://youtu.be/AnFlHylUO0w). I’m very happy with my purchase. I’ve really enjoyed playing and getting to know the instrument, and I’m really looking forward to sharing its beauty and healing with more fellow brothers and sisters. I’d really like to get the Maplewood one too at some point!:p
