The MyAV·¶ College of Music serves as the custodian to a significant collection of fine string instruments made possible through the generosity of the College’s supporters.

In this session Katherine Hainsworth explores the development and use of these exceptional resources, which give MyAV·¶ musicians access to instruments of the highest quality, thus fostering and enhancing their musical development.
