I usually keep in stock a small quantity of the strings sets shown below. For more than 2 sets, I may need to order more, from the supplier, but the delay is usually only about a week. | |||

These are GHS ultra-light classical strings, specially designed for older, short-scale bowlbacks and suitable for more fragile instruments, and not available from most online suppliers. Gauges are 09, 13, 20w, and 32w. (I can also supply GHS light sets) |

For other instruments, I can make up strings sets to order, particularly for waldzithers converted to Irish bouzoukis, for which there will be NO commercial set available. As a general rule for dedicated sets, count �2 per string or �3 per string if they need to be double loop. For double loop strings, I also make a simple loop-winder which will allow you to wind your own. | |||
