string suppliers

Hi all.

My usual shop on line is having a few difficulties and so in the meantime I need to order a few sets. (I don't want to name and shame as I'm sure its just a blip)

Who are you using for online strings that you are happy with on both price and service?

Depends what you want...we have Andy Needham, D'addarioUK, as a member here who can offer lots of great advice if you're not sure.

I agree - Price can vary a lot from brand to brand so it would help if you name the brand and string gauge/type

I get my Rotos off of Ebay, about £15 a set I think, and delivery virtually the next day.

It does pay to shop around, I've bought strings from a certain large German dealer before, as even with postage, they were still cheaper than sourcing strings from the UK. EBay's a good place to start. As molan said, it depends on which brand you want, and how much you think is a fair price for them.

Strings wanted here too - and actually D'Addario half-round. Anybody any thoughts on the likely best deal out there? A certain German outfit beginning with Th has them for about £30.

I just sold a set of D'A half rounds here for significantly less...
