Welcome to our 2011 spring edition of JSI NOTES, Johnson String Instrument's news magazine and recommended products catalog!
The articles in this issue feature string players, special events, and an exciting workshop project. You can read about the work of MusiConnects and the Boston Public Quartet in Boston public schools in our feature on page 4. There are also articles about recent special events at JSI, including the Yamaha week in November 2010, and the instrument exhibit from the Cremona Consortium of Violin Makers Exhibit that was housed at our Newton shop in February. In another article, head luthier Marianne Ganzer describes an interesting restoration project of an 18th century viola which will be restored to its original Baroque set up. In addition to the articles, we are featuring some of the most requested, best-reviewed, and best-valued products, including books and music as recommended by professionals, teachers, students, parents, and JSI staff. We hope you enjoy browsing for items on our website to enhance your music making, whether it is a new brand of strings to achieve a certain sound, the latest lightweight folding music stand, an informative book on teaching or playing, or, thanks to GE payment plans from our sales department, an upgrade to a finer instrument or bow. We look forward to working with you! |
