"I appreciate D'Addario's attitude in reducing their environmental impact and creating a community of artists rather than just a product. I trust the company because they take feedback and keep conversations open with their artists and customers."
Monique Clare
"I play on Kaplan strings because they are reliable and feel good as soon as they go onto the instrument. They give me a neutral canvas that allows my cello to speak and gives me the freedom to traverse multiple genres seamlessly."

ABOUT Monique Clare
Monique Clare is an award-winning Australian songwriter and cellist who weaves compelling lyrics into driving cello lines and heart-tugging harmonies. Since breaking out as a solo artist in 2017, her songwriting has become increasingly daring and potent, with hard-hitting lyrics and an unconventional brand of classical-folk-pop cello. Her diverse career has seen her teach cello in Afghanistan, host mountaintop sunrise concerts, play cello for Kate Miller-Heidke and Eminem, and tour internationally as part of The Maes. She currently co-directs a folk string camp and workshop series in Australia called Tree Folk Music.
