New Instrument Exchange Now Available in C-U

May 25, 2006
Urbana - The Bow-Dacious String Band has announced a new instrument exchange program where interested parties can both sell and buy musical instruments. Prospective buyers may post a listing free of charge on this web-based list, hosted on the String Band's webpage (http://www.bow-daciousstringband.com/fiddleexhange.html). Sellers may post as many instruments as they wish and are asked to make a modest donation to the Bow-Dacious String Band's scholarship fund if their instruments sell.

The focus for the exchange page is stringed instruments in or around Champaign County, but other instruments are welcome too.  

The Bow-Dacious String Band, led by Director Robin Kearton, is devoted to learning excellent ensemble skills, improvisation, and applied music theory through the performance of popular music styles. They also include baroque music in their programs - and other "classical" styles - stressing group cooperation, improvisation, and stylistic performance.
