We often get e-mails asking us to circulate the contents among our players. I don't generally care for unsolicited 'spam' so I don't clutter up the inboxes of our members with these. However from time to time I do receive some which may be of interest - so I'm posting them here for you to see.

My husband and I have recently launched a new venture in Andalucia called "Strings In The Sun" which provides an opportunity for string players to come to our home in Spain, play in a chamber group and enjoy this beautiful area.
The website address is www.stringsinthesun.com
 
We are offering a 20% discount for bookings confirmed by 30th June and we would also like to offer your members a further discount of ten percent for complete groups of four players.
 
As it is our first year of business we need to generate some momentum for the 2009 season and would appreciate any help you can provide us with.
 
Many thanks and I hope you will be able to visit us at Villa Lopez!

I am writing regarding possible opportunities for maintaining and repairing musical instruments used by Members of the Forest Philharmonic. We would like the opportunity to offer you our services.

Greenwich Strings is a new business based in South-East London offering a comprehensive repair and maintenance service for all stringed instruments, including bow repairs and re-hair service. All our work is undertaken with care and all repairs are guaranteed for a minimum of one year.

I run Greenwich Strings with assistance from other makers. I am fully qualified (BA Hons. Music Technology [Musical Instruments]) and have also won awards as an instrument maker, most recently the prestigious Tom Jenkins Award for excellence in musical instrument making. Our rates are competitive and we would be willing to undertake your members' repairs of stringed instruments.

As well as instrument repairs we can offer you a set up service to ensure your members are getting the most from their instruments. We are able to offer a supply of affordable strings and accessories and used and new instruments. We offer a free appraisal/estimate service and also a free collection service should you decide that we can be of service.

Please feel free to contact me via email or telephone (07828100630) to discuss you needs and how we can help you.
