Anywhere cheaper for TI Spirocores than Thomann?

[StingRayBoy42]

My TI Spirocores have started fraying (only had them twenty-odd years!) so it's time for a new set.

The cheapest I've found is Thomann at £169, does anyone know anywhere cheaper?

They're 4/4 medium gauge.

Obviously I've had a google and these were the cheapest I could see, not a bad price tbf but worth asking before I pull the trigger.

Cheers

There is nowhere online cheaper than a Thomman.

I had a pretty good scour of the Internet last year and no one could beat Thomann on Spiros.  As an experiment I had a look on the internet whilst in Austria in February, and they were actually slightly more expensive in the country of manufacture than Thomann UK, for some bizarre reason.

I thought as much but always worth asking.

 

Cheers folks

I don't think so. I had a pretty good look and found nothing even close. Mine arrived this morning. The set was well below anything I could find, and the low B string was half the price I could find anywhere else.

They are cheaper here. It's where I got mine from. £131 + delivery (can't remember how much I spent on delivery from Spain where they are based)
