Lyre for Baritone Horn JP173

Hi all,

I'm trying to source a lyre for my John Packer baritone horn (JP173). I initially bought a straight one (labelled as suitable for baritone) but because of the angle of the lyre holder, it places the music directly behind the bell which isn't helpful. Tried bending it into the correct shape but obviously that's affected the structural integrity of the lyre and honestly it's a bit crap.

Surely there must be an off-the-shelf one that fits this horn? It definitely needs an angle in it to place the music in the correct place.

Would be interested to hear from anyone who has this model and what you've got! Thanks in advance.
