88 Strings began in Don’s living-room in 2004 out of a call from his students to play with others, and his desire to experiment with the unique sound a mandolin orchestra offers.


Don’s 88 Strings project is currently on hiatus for the 2008-09 season, but please check back for further updates. Don is available for group lessons, feel free to contact him for more information by email or 231-392-9184. In the meantime, listen to an 88 String performance, check out our photo album, and read Carol South’s article below!
