Open String Inc is a non-profit organization based in New York, NY, dedicated to providing high-quality violins to under-served communities worldwide. Founded by Robert Brewer Young, the organization began by repairing instruments for blind musicians in New York City and has since expanded to support music programs in various cities, including Calcutta, Sarajevo, Argentina, San Francisco, and the Philippines. Open String's mission is to empower youth through music education and sustainability, using innovative technologies combined with traditional violin-making techniques to create conservatory-quality instruments.
With a goal of making music education accessible at the highest level, Open String aims to help communities produce hundreds of violins based on the renowned Antonio Stradivari's c.1726 Braga violin. The organization involves the children themselves in the final stages of crafting their own instruments, fostering a personal connection to the violin and opening up possibilities beyond imagination. Through their transformative work, Open String Inc touches the lives of thousands, providing a lifeline and a path towards excellence for children in under-served communities worldwide.
