Wink 1st Annual Rocket Music Packaging Fund Drive

Folks, apparently the good people at Rocket Music are having difficulty sourcing appropriate shipping packages for string sets, so we at Roscoe are going to start a charity drive to help them get packaging that makes sense for sets of strings....

At least he saved on weight by taking the strings outta the box.

Then again, Maybe he needed the box 'cause he was trying to do his own version of DIAB.

Seems like he went to great care to make sure they were as safely packaged as can be.... look at all that padding.

Next time send them in a 45" tube so they don't coil in shipment.

And a foam ball-end retainer so that they remain in parallel orientation during shipping.
