From the post:
>A superintendent at a Pennsylvania school is helping to reduce costs for families with students interested in playing a musical instrument. Once a popular choice, the violin can cost hundreds of dollars in rental fees during the average school year. "Over 70% of our students are low-income. So that means 100% of our kids receive a free breakfast and free lunch every single day," said Dr. Laura Jacob, the superintendent of the California Area School District. She has figured out how to produce the instruments at just a fraction of the cost – and right from her office.
Not a bad idea actually. Kids fuck up instruments on the regular. And they don't need the "good stuff" until they get into a presentation.
