Mr. Harold Hayslett
One of the most frustrating things for a young strings student is to
struggle with an inferior instrument. Thanks to the generosity of Mr.
Harold Hayslett, the West Virginia Youth Symphony is now in possession
of a fine handcrafted cello which will be made available to one lucky
student each year. Harold Hayslett, a local instrument maker for more
than fifty years, has donated Hayslett Cello #54 to the West Virginia
Youth Symphony. To honor this gesture the WVYS has established the Hayslett
Cello Chair. The first recipient of this award is Dean Pauley, 1st chair
cello in the Youth Strings and a senior at Scott High School. Mr. Hayslett
was recognized at the 2007 WVYS Spring Concert.
