In the 2017 school year, a kind donor bought 40 brand new ukuleles for my music classroom. I taught ukulele to all Kindergarten through Sixth Grade students for months (over 700 students using them for hours a day) and we only damage one string, which means the kids were treating the instruments with great respect! To further protect our instruments, instead of storing them in a giant plastic tub or against the wall, we would now be able to hang them with the wall mounts AND with tuners, learn how to tune the instruments at as young as third grade!
