    Please Touch Museum will be tuning its strings in anticipation for the Spring String celebration! Come and enjoy the musical styles of Ann Goering and Brian Rafter while they play a number of different stringed instruments around the museum, including upright bass, bowed psaltery, autoharp, guitar, violin, and viola. Little maestro’s can also try their hands at a ukulele, hammerete, melody harp, and child-sized upright harp and guitar in the Program Room. While all this is going on, there will also be strolling marionettes for all four days of fun! Wrapping it all up is the Story Castle, which will feature readings from Just How Long Can a Long String Be?! by Keith Baker. This story deals with the many ways in which string can be used; as a banjo for example.
