The have not won an Emmy
If you google, you will find a lot of webpages that state that Nuttin' But Stringz have won an Emmy, but almost none of them say what they won an Emmy for. It took a while, but I tracked down the basis for this claim. In 2007 the MSG Network aired a segment of one of their arts programs which was about Nuttin' But Stringz going to the White House to perform for President Bush. In 2008 that segment won a local New York Emmy for "Arts: Program Feature/Segment". Nuttin' But Stringz are not among the named recipients of that award. The actual recipients of the award were: Lydia Murphy Stephans, Executive Vice-President of Programming and Production; Laurie Orlando, Executive Producer; Staci Dunbar, Coordinating Producer; David Kornfield, Producer; Damien Drake, Director of Photography; Syndi Pilar, Benedict Kasulis, Editors. Nuttin' But Stringz were merely the subject of a report that won two (local) Emmy Awards for the people who made the report.[1] The claim that they won an Emmy should be removed, or at least the more accurate information above should be put in its place. 99.192.83.120 (talk) 20:11, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

Bio and AGT
The "Biography" section lists the group's history, but leaves out their America's Got Talent experience. The AGT appearances are obviously detailed in the next section, but to leave it out of the Bio makes it incomplete and confusing. Spetnik (talk) 22:21, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
The Bio lists the group as winning Showtime at the Apollo in 2005. This is incorrect. "Black Violin" (another hip hop violin duo) is the group that won on Showtime at the Apollo in 2005. Please correct that information. You can go on Youtube and or google to see Black Violin's performances on Showtime at the Apollo Amatuer night. I'm not sure how Nuttin But Stringz 3rd place victory in Apollo's Super top dog contest translated to a victory at the Showtime at the Apollo. (yes, I know they even have it on their own bio -- perhaps a bit exagerated maybe?) This is the competition that they were in at the Apollo (http://www.qchron.com/editions/eastern/jamaica-violinist-teens-are-nuttin-but-apollo-winners/article_bd234011-d127-50c7-9db5-77e1e6b7f765.html). Here is a list of sources that Black Violin was indeed Showtime at the Apollo's 2005 winner: http://fresh-music-talent.blogspot.com/2007/01/black-violin-hip-hop-violinists-2005.html; https://www.artscenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/BlackViolin_StudyGuide.pdf; http://www.kidsentertainment.net/2009-2010/blackviolin/BlackViolin_PressKit.pdf; http://www.musicincincinnati.com/site/reviews_2007/blackviolin60107.html. Plus as I mentioned previously, you can youtube the performances. Both groups are very talented performancers. I feel strongly about giving credit where credit is due and not capitalizing on another's success. I also don't want the two to be confused, because they each bring their own uniqueness to the table.
