A professional band uses a set of strings once. One night. One gig. Then they go in the bin - with ninety-five percent of their life remaining. Rewind captures that wealth and uses it to let our children play.
Music tuition is free. Paying for costly strings, repairs, and consumables is not.
Scotland provides free music tuition in many local authorities, but tuition is not the barrier - maintenance is. A snapped string, a broken bridge, a worn bow. Small costs to most families and insurmountable costs to others.
Children in our most deprived communities are giving up their instruments not because of ability or ambition - but because of a repair bill their family cannot afford.
Meanwhile, the music industry discards tonnes of perfectly viable strings every year. Rewind closes this loop, for good.
We come to you, and we handle everything.
We capture industry wealth from professional musicians, festivals and orchestras, and redirect that wealth free of charge to children in our most deprived communities. Rewind ensures every string has a second life.
We pair private schools with local state schools. Shared resources, shared facilities, shared experiences. Two worlds that rarely coexist - now making music together.
Jewellery made from the strings played at your favourite artist's gig - transformed into a treasured memory. Artist provenance pieces with certificates of provenance help keep the music playing.
We come to you and handle everything. Your strings are captured, saved from waste, and given a new life. Your artists can help a local child keep playing. You receive full documentation - strings collected, waste diverted, children reached - ready for your sustainability and CSR reporting.
We're growing fast and your input matters.
