Abstract

See full text

A packaging device for musical instrument strings provides for easy identification and dispensing of individual strings without bending, curling or tangling the strings. Each string is individually wound on its own string carrier such that the string can be individually removed without disturbing the remaining strings. In one embodiment, a base and cover enclose a series of string carriers with each string carrier having a channel holding a coiled string. The various string carriers may be stacked together and enclosed by an external housing such that the string carriers are allowed to individually rotate, or the carriers may remain fixed with respect to each other and to the package housing. The package may be formed of thermoformed plastic, injection molded plastic, cardboard, or any other material. The dispenser may be used to package strings for guitars, pianos, harps or any other stringed instrument.
