Niles Music Store Hosts Free Restring Event

Local musicians are invited to attend a free recycle and restring event at Hubbard Music in Niles Friday, July 21 at 6 p.m. Sponsored by D’Addario, musicians can bring any old instrument strings for recycling and get their electric or acoustic guitars restrung with D’Addario NYXL or Nickel Bronze Acoustic strings. Old strings collected during the event will be recycled through Playback, D’Addario’s free, national recycling program. After college, Mark Tirabassi used what he had in his bank account to open Hubbard Music which quickly expanded to two stores. However, with his music career taking off, Mark was forced to leave the stores in his brother’s hands and hit the road to tour with bands like Collective Soul. After his return, Mark introduced rentals into the business and provided everything necessary for the young, local bands. Since then, the family-owned business’s clientele has grown to include bigger names like Tony Bennett. Mark has also written several books, posts how-to videos on YouTube and gives lessons at libraries and local businesses. Hubbard Music has been in business for 26 years.
