Title: anyone know a good place to buy string online?
Post by: JDC on October 15, 2007, 06:29:39 PM

my usual place used to do free delivery if you spent at least £6, now you need to spend £10, and with the postage strike they are not even doing that right now :(

after a place that sells daddario singles, although ernie balls will do

I get all my strings from Thomann - Usually buying other things at the same time though.

stringbusters is cheaper than strings direct...

not too sure if they do single strings, though.

+1, very cheap if you're ordering something that takes you over the 199 Euros for free delivery.

Strings Direct are great too.

I knew I was setting myself up for that  :oops:  :lol: .  

False economy.  Like those Amazon offers that say "buy this CD with that one for just £21.56" and it's exactly what it would cost if you bought them separately.

But you know what I mean, I buy strings from Thomann when I'm already ordering something else.  Like grabbing a Twix at the checkout in Sainsburys.

Dr Duck are the best AND cheap - at these prices it's worth a try.  I've been using them for over a year now, they sound great and last for ages.
