Ray Chen To Host Giveaway of 100 Kennedy Violins In Practice Challenge On Tonic App

Renowned violinist Ray Chen will launch a giveaway of 100 violins from Kennedy Violins, a leading supplier of student and professional string instruments.

The giveaway will take place on Chen's app, Tonic, starting March 18th. Tonic users have a seven-day window to accumulate practice hours and listening XP. The top 100 users displaying the most dedication between March 18th and 25th will each receive a violin from Kennedy Violins, fostering their musical journey.
