Quinn’s Music and new owner Budd Greenman team up with instrument technician Zach Potter to lead Strings & Things, an interactive workshop designed for all skill levels, from beginners to experienced players. This session focuses on practical knowledge and helpful techniques for common stringed instruments, including guitar, fiddle, bass, and ukulele.

With more than a dozen years of experience playing and teaching stringed instruments, Zach brings a passion for helping musicians build confidence and improve their sound. Budd adds years of expertise as both a luthier and performer, offering insight into instrument setup, repair, and care.

Participants will learn about different types of strings, how to properly care for instruments, and basic maintenance techniques that can extend the life and playability of their gear. Budd and Zach will also demonstrate a variety of guitar and fiddle styles and techniques, and they will be available to answer questions about repairs, upkeep, and one-on-one lesson opportunities.

The workshop is free to attend, but pre-registration is required. Register in person at Quinn’s Music, 210 S. Michigan Avenue, or by phone at (231) 796-5651.
