My Project

With these new strings, our violin players will be able to find that professional tone that they have been longing for since the beginning of the year. These strings will be put on as soon as they are received and will be put into action as soon as possible. I can only imagine how much better the sound will be once they put on these top-quality strings. These violin players of the orchestra will be able to help better support the orchestra with their newly improved tone. Also, many students in the violin section will be able to perform more solos, duets, quartets, etc. within the program's concerts, making the concert filled with more beautiful violin music. These strings are a necessity and we need your help as soon as possible.

Once these violin players receive these new strings, they will learn that new strings really make a difference.

Although they are wonderful and devoted players, they have yet to learn how they could produce a more professional tone. With these strings, they will be able to expand their knowledge and get closer to the goal of being a professional violin player.
