Via The String Family: “We're on our way to the most beautiful and luxurious recording studio I've ever seen at Animato Strings, Eagle Farm to record our new CD!”

It’s not often we have stories as heart-warming as these. A few months ago we had a Cello teacher contact us asking about our Horace Bow Guide, and whether it would be suitable for him to teach his blind students. Today we received a glowing review along with this video. A maestro in the making. It’s fantastic to see something we designed helping so much in an application we never thought of.

If only cello lessons were still this easy :’’’’D

All about that bass...
