    I just bought some Monel Sam Bush strings on E**y.
    Brilliant, I love them....
    But I sudenly realised If I snap one I am up S**t creek, there is no way I can buy a replacement in the UK (eccept E**y now and again)and it costs a LOT to ship from the US.
    My question is this, does anyone know of anyone who sells these in the UK?

    Question

    I don't know of a UK supplier, but if nothing else it may be possible to order them from Europe. #Are these the ones you're looking for?

    walked into My local instrument repair ace's shop, ordered them and waited .
    got 6 packs at same time.

    they last so long it was several years ago,

    [MAS means string wear is spread out amongst several mandos ,
    all of which cry out for equal attention, [a quiet whimper from inside their cases]

    fwiw, sam_bush set ads one spare E and A

    not sure if web stores cut price per set by the dozen sets , instead offer a low price for each, though shipping a half dozen sets would still offer a weigh savings, same carton and all.

    Cheers,
    I will have to do a bit of looking around on the old internet. I think they drop the price once you get half a dozen as opposed to a cheaper initial price.
    Anyway, I shall have to bite the bullet and make a bulk order I suppose. Baahh!
