"D'Addario is a very special company, a musical family who has opened up to this larger family of people who live, love, and believe in music. D'Addario has made my musical life so much easier. I'm so grateful to be connected with these folks."

"Out of the many great strings available through D'Addario, the Kaplan Amos are my current favorite. Not only do they have a really warm tone, they are quick to speak and seem to have an extra dimension that is hard to describe, but really increases my desire to pick up the violin and just play... and that is so appreciated!"
