I am concerned about the string getting broken or tangled--is there a way it can be replaced by an adult?

So far the string still attached but he hasn't been playing with a whole lot.

Probably send the string back. It happens and obviously you can't replace the bulbs like older lights. Mine all work fine and are awesome.

That question just came up for me. The strings got tangled when I was working in the wetlands and I thought about taking it apart and comparing it to the one I use inside. That way I could restring it by using the other as a template. Since mine was totally sweaty/stinky after five years of hard use, I decided to get a new one to replace it. However, I kept the old one in case I needed parts off it. It looks to me that if you use a screwdriver (very carefully) you can back the screws out and restring it. You have to be careful because the screws look like plastic and so is the piece they screw into. Taking them out and putting them back in looks like it could result in stripping if you're not careful. You've really got nothing to lose by trying. Good luck!

Fortunately I have not had this problem. I have restrung the smaller unit. I suggest you take a heavy duty wire, like electrical ones you use wiring your house. Run it through the unit as a leader and pull the string through. Don't know if this will work but it is what I did before. Good luck. Frank

I'm glad to know it's not just me. I ordered a new pole with string and.. I guess the problem is the string. I've been using the same one now for a month. I guess I just didn't expect the string to wear down that quickly and still kind of don't understand what causes it to bunch up once it gets worn down. Little bit of a mystery to this mind. Thanks for responding.

Well...that seems like a good question on the surface. But think about it. You don't want the needles to be anywhere near easy to take out...because children are very resourceful...& one is bound to do it & get hurt. And...the sewing machine is not so expensive that it would be difficult to replace if there was an issue. But my granddaughters have not had any trouble with the needles. They're just playing with scraps & small pieces of fabric...they're not making drapes.

My rope broke the first week I had it. I would go to a fabric store and try to find something similar to it and staple it to the tree.Its just an Idea.

Definitely, however, ours was for an adult and it broke within the first few hours, so be careful!

Yes it is already stringed, but you will have to take it to a professional to have it set up to where it can play. You will see additional expense of 150.00 to get this instrument to play. I was extremely disappointed and wish I had just returned it rather than invest more. Bow? Don't know yet. Still haven't pulled it across the strings. It's been in the shop since Christmas. Rethink this selection for a beginners cello.

Yes I do have a cord that is fraying and I have only used it 3 times. I don't want to loose my best friend, so I was hoping the company would sell replacement cords. I am not having much luck with that. Home Depot will be my next stop. I Love the WalkyDog product, it is great.

Extra wires can be found on line, but I think they are too expensive. I suggest a guitar string. I think it is the E string but not sure. Piano wire would probably work also.

I had asked them the same thing as I had lost a screw on the clamp while jumping rope. They had told me they don't have the ability to send just parts yet. They ended up sending me a new rope. I emailed them thru their website and they were very responsive

I replaced mine with a slighty larger, stronger rope - personal preference only - the cord that comes with it is plenty strong and is long enough for almost any application.

I have not noticed this to be a problem for a 2 1/2 year old. For a variety of reasons I would think a longer string could pose safety problems.

Try your local music store. Take it with you I you will need help re-stringing.

Well, yes. But, some "users" have a problem with the end of the string - the aglet - not being long enough to feed through the beads. If hands are clumsy, it is difficult to feed it through and catch it on the other side before you drop it.

Just contact the seller. He's a very nice guy. He will send a few strings. Downside he is in B.F china.
