Guess what this is...

Only @jonno1981 got it.

 

A single G string...0.65 gauge. 

 

What a waste of a box and money.  If there were concerns about damage the string could have been protected by two pieces of cardboard in a A5 envelope.

The packing staff obviously never boxed clever .

So it wasn't a rotosound espresso machine after all .

If I send you an appropriately sized stamped, addressed envelope will you send me a prize? 😉

While I wasn't specific in the same way as @jonno1981 I think my answer qialifies as correct too.

 

Besides .65 is only ridiculous if you intend to use it as a G string. It will make a perfectly adequate slightly heavy D-string.

A .065 G string?!?! Dang you might hurt someone!

OK there's a lot of space around the contents. But they were just trying to provide plenty of air on a G string.

I like it when my wife has that.

Gosh. Is it made of glass?

There was a "dead" string in the set. Unheard of with tapewounds - Rotosound were happy to replace it.

Rotosound strings have such a reputation for damaging fretwork, that it had to be packaged so as to protect your letterbox, the delivery van, and the sorting machinery.
