2010 Catalogue Photo Shoot

A lot goes on behind the scenes of a modern day violin shop which a lot of our customers probably never get to see. Just this month I have been liasing with one of our factories in China to better our entry-level of bass – the ‘Arioso’. I have been diligently faxing measurements and other requirements, in order to keep our products the best in the market so that time and time again each instrument that walks out our door is a complete success. We are also working on an exciting range of baroque instruments and bows which we hope to bring you soon.
It has always been a philosophy of Simply for Strings to support local talent and we had two great opportunities to do so this month. As many of you may know, we have a strong relationship with the string community in northern central Queensland and were privileged to be able to send one of their bright young stars, Ellen, on a full-scholarship to the Macgregor Summer School. There, she will participate in Master-classes with David Deacon, previous violist with the Sydney Symphony.
We once again had the opportunity to support The Sixth Galaxy of Cellos. Our very own staff member, Shannon participated the occasion. The Galaxy of Cellos is a biennial event which brings together all past and present students of Conservatorium lecturers, Marcus and Mei-Lee Stocker to form a massive 110 piece cello orchestra.
Christmas is fast approching and now is a great time to lay-by or purchase a gift certificate. We have a great range of stocking fillers and gifts for very special teachers. We look forward to seeing you in the store soon.
