A note on getting Extra Strings
Strings are very delicate and will break from time to
time so it is important to always have an extra set. The higher strings,
because they are smaller, are more likely to break. Students will learn in
class how to carefully tune their instruments. They should tune ONLY as
instructed to by their teacher. Improper tuning can result in expensive
damages to the instrument.
