The mission of the “ReString Appalachia” initiative is to get as many instruments back into the hands of people who lost them throughout Appalachia due to Hurricane Helene. Created by the roots music history podcast American Songcatcher, this project is supported by over 150 of the leading roots musicians, instrument makers, nonprofits, venues, festivals, actors, artists and media outlets.

We are a "donor match" program, aiming to get instruments of comparable or better quality, if not the exact same make and model that was lost, if possible.
