Rotosound have announced a sponsorship deal with music therapy charity The Lewis Project.

The company will supply the charity with a variety of guitar strings in a sponsorship deal that sees guitar players from the project receive free strings.

Rotosound strings are synonymous with the British Tone and have been used on era-defining records from artists such as Pink Floyd, Guns 'n' Roses, Queen and Nirvana.

They have collaborated with some of the world's most iconic musicians to develop their strings, including Iron Maiden rocker Steve Harris, Billy Sheehan and the late John Entwistle from The Who.

Rotosound have produced instrument strings and accessories for more than 60 years from its family-run factory in Kent, England – innovating the roundwound bass guitar string and igniting the sound of rock and roll, they have been at the forefront of making guitar music since 1958.

Meanwhile, The Lewis Project (TLP) charity was set up a decade ago to promote mental wellbeing in young musicians aged 16+ through music in memory of Lewis Murrell, a talented musician.

The charity's Mike Paterson said: "We're thrilled to be partnering with Rotosound and immensely grateful for their support. We look forward to exciting times ahead together."

Co-founder Michele Grace added: "We have witnessed huge positive changes in our members over time as their confidence grows through the language of music and life-long friendships. We believe every town should provide a music centre to promote the mental well-being of young people everywhere."
