Salle Outreach Project

Salle Outreach Project is a unique educational and cultural experience into the fascinating world of the history of musical instrument string making. The event is hosted by Toro Strings, the Museum of Strings and the Castle of Salle.

The town of Salle, in the heart of Abruzzo region, is renowned worldwide for being one of the exclusive Italian lands where the art of string making flourished in the Middle Ages. The exclusive Museum of Strings, Museo delle Corde Armoniche, tells the incredible history of some distinguished families that began their enterprises in their native Salle many hundreds of years ago, and exported their expertise and tradition abroad. A special connection was made between Italy and the USA through the first half of 20th century migration wave that involved two main strings companies D’Addario Strings and La Bella Strings, both originally from Salle and Lanciano.
