My Project

These strings will be used on student instruments to replace strings that break or are too old. It is important to have extra strings at hand so that students can have the best experience possible playing their instrument. When strings break or are too old to produce a good sound, it is often difficult for parents to find the time to purchase new strings. Having extra strings on hand at school allows the strings to be replaced quickly so students do not miss instruction or miss time playing with their peers.
