Fall 2007
Dear Ipswich Parent,
Johnson String Instrument is located in Newton, Massachusetts, just west of Boston. We rent and sell violins, violas, cellos and basses. We will attend the Ipswich Public School instrument delivery night in October to provide students with stringed rental instruments. At our deliveries we arrange new rentals and exchanges, and accept returns. We will visit the High School/Middle School music room periodically during the school year to service or exchange the instruments.
PARENTS OF PLAYERS ENROLLED IN THE 2006-2007 IPSWICH STRING PROGRAM
We will be delivering rental stringed instruments in Ipswich on:
Wednesday, October 10th, 7:00 PM
At Doyon School
* Returnng Ipswich customers: Please note the temporary relocation from the MS/HS complex to the Doyon School for 2007.
We recommend pre-registration. You can pre-register at www.johnsonstring.com after September 1, or you can call us at 800-359-9351 anytime after August 24th. Pre-registration ensures that an instrument of appropriate size will be reserved for your child until 7:00 PM and allows you reserve accessories in advance. If you are unable to pre-register, you may read over and fill out a contract at the delivery while your child is sized for their instrument on October 10h.

Renewals can be done through the mail. Yearly rates are less expensive and if you return early, you will be charged only for the time used.
