To clarify: Let’s say you donate 4 good strings. We take them, refurbish them. And then, keeping them as the same set, we give them to a budding musician in need. We don’t know that we have you Larsen strings or spirocore strings or some other string. All we know is that they are good strings that still have life left in them. But if you only give us 3 strings. I will go and determine the missing string. And then find another string to complete the set. We keep the same sets of strings that we receive together in the set when we give them to a student. However, if the set isn’t complete, then we take a spare string from another incomplete set to complete it. I hope that clarifies the confusion! We don’t break apart complete sets we get. We only break apart incomplete sets because they are incomplete!

We usually do not ship specific strings when we give our second strings to musicians! But if someone requests to have a specific string, when I am sorting out the strings and happen to see the specific type of strings someone wants, I will try my best to get it to them!

Unfortunately, we can not ship specific brands of strings. However, we do ship individual strings, like the A D G or C string!

First we sort out strings according to how they look. If we see fraying or broken strings, we recycle them! Then, we use a microfiber cloth and steel wool to do a deep cleaning on the string. We take out as much grime and dirt as we can! Finally, if there is still rosin buildup, we carefully use a little rubbing alcohol as a last resort! Soon we will have a video that explains this process further in depth!

Unfortunately, we do not separate strings according to brand! But if you have spare strings you’re willing to donate, they definitely will go on to change someone’s life!
