Excellent service: Newtone Strings

[Sambrook]

The topic title says it all, really.
I wanted a single high "F" for my Conklin GT7.
Asked advice here on where to find one- emailed Newtone Wed morning ( on your recommendation), and Friday morning it's delivered! Several emails, manufactured, posted, all in 72hrs.
That's what I call service

Always like Newtone. Great strings too.

Couldn't agree more. Bought a couple of sets from them for my Bass VI, brilliant service and brilliant strings.

Presume it's still Malcolm Newton who is running it. Used to use their guitar strings on all my guitars. I recall that I had ordered a few sets many moons ago and they were taking a few days longer to arrive than usual - though not enough for me really to have noticed. I got a phone all from Malcolm to apologies that he was a week or so behind on order but he would have them in the post tomorrow... Because he'd been in hospital after having a minor heart attack. And of course if I wanted to cancel the order he would totally understand. He was really worried that the weight would be an inconvenience and imposition on me. Of course I told him to not to be a daft h'a'porth, that there are things more important than whether I had to wait a few days for a set of strings.

Lovely bloke, top strings too. Sorted me out with odd orders like, custom weights, 8 string Celtic bouzouki sets and stuff...

I believe he has taken a back seat but the other guys are still running it in his 'image' so to speak.
Didn#t know what pre-empted this but I think he has taken retirement....

[TrevorR]

Makes sense adding up the numbers on the years. Good to see that they are still approaching it the same way he did.

Newtone are very local to me. Great strings, great company.
The person now in charge is Neil Silverman.

[Sibob]

Yes Malcolm is retired now, but I've had some dealings with Neil recently and the service and strings are still brilliant.

Another happy Newtone strings user here - use their Heritage low tension strings on my acoustic & they are superb.
Tried a set of their bass strings on my Jack Casady when I had it & they were great too.

I agree. Good service.
