Strings for Tomorrow

Spectacular service and speedy communication. A++ for service and quality
I stumbled over their site while searching for violins on Oahu for a few months. What caught my eye was, «we will donate a free instrument to a school in need for every three we sell.» I believe in the importance of music in school, and love that they are helping to strengthen that! A lot of schools cut into music programs when making budget sacrifices.
Twenty minutes after filling out the online form, I received an email from one of the founders! The next morning I was planning my appointment with the other. I requested to view/​test intermediate level violins. I met up with Joanna, where she laid out 6 very fine instruments!!! Prices ranged from $ 680−1500+. As soon as I walked in, one instrument caught my eye. It turned out to be the student model ($ 680). Later that week I was on the road to owning my own instrument.
They have a rent-​to-​own program for some of their instruments. It’s for people who can’t afford an instrument immediately. No hidden fees, and all rental fees go towards the final price of the instrument. After 1 year of renting, the balance is due.
All in all, WONDERFUL service, and I’m extremely happy with my new violin. It sounds 10x better than my student rental from Music Center Of Hawaii.
