MJC Ironworks still have a small inventory of guitar strings. Please contact Debbie Lee (friend of MJC Ironworks) to find out availability and pricing. Sorry, we have no bass strings. :-(

Mike Connolly has been in the music biz for ages and knows a lot of stuff, but above all, he knows bass and guitar strings in great detail.

Last year, we shot this never-released video of Mike Connolly in the MJC factory, talking about strings and more. His passion and humor just shine through.

The folks from Bass Musician Magazine recorded a wonderful set of interviews with Mike at the end of 2020... they perfectly captured his passion for music - and for strings.

It is with profound sadness that we share the loss of our friend, brother and founder of MJC Ironworks, Mike Connolly, after a lengthy battle with cancer.

Typical of Mike - he fought it right to the end, and never stopped making strings.

Michael LOVED musicians. The telephone number on MJC's website and business cards was his personal number. He was never too busy to take a call from any artist, just to chat with them, find out what they were doing, and share a love of music.

He spent a lifetime in the string industry, before deciding to gather us friends and start making his own strings - which are loved by all who use them. It was a dream we shared with him, and are proud that we could walk that road with him as long as we did.

Our love and deepest condolences go out to Mike's family, his friends, and this huge community of musicians who loved him.

The future of MJC Ironworks is uncertain right now... we'll have an update on that in the weeks to come. But just for now...

We love you, Mike... you will always be missed, and never forgotten.
