String Swing: Local Business Presentation

Join the library and Paul Thieman as he describes the history of his business, String Swing, in Ontario, Wisconsin! In 1983, Paul Thieman and Anne Tainter were running a small dairy farm in Elroy, WI. Thieman, who played guitar in a local band, pictured a guitar hanger that would allow his guitar to be stored out of a case, easily accessible and safe from damage while also being properly supported. At the time, there was no such product on the market for home guitar wall mounts so Paul did what he knew best: made his own out of spare parts from around the farm. His invention worked perfectly and String Swing was born in 1987.
