What Is the String Industry Council?

The String Industry Council is a division of ASTA that works in partnership with teachers and performers to support string education in America. Council members include suppliers, distributors, retailers, manufacturers, organizations, and companies who are committed to providing teachers, students, performers, and all customers with the highest quality string products and services.

In addition to the recognition company members receive by being a member of the Council, some companies choose to increase their visibility with the individual members of ASTA through a variety of avenues, including sponsoring activities at national conferences, sponsoring awards, providing instruments and accessories for the Instrument and Bow Outreach Program, assisting ASTA chapter activities, and donating prizes and services to the Silent Auction. These initiatives work to support the National Foundation to Promote String Teaching and Playing, which in turn works to support programs and individuals in need.

Since its creation in 1997, the Council has grown to include more than 150 company members. The following directory of companies can provide you with a variety of products and services that will help you with your daily teaching and performing needs.
