Re: String Alternatives
lol Nope, I'm sticking with the SE ones, made by D'addarrio I think? No need for alternatives, I am personally totally happy with the Stick strings! (But that's just me!)
I am pretty sure Emmett and co are pretty reasonable, unless you burned a cross on his front lawn I bet he'd sell you strings... Give 'em a call, dude! Maybe a new beginning if your bridge is currently in flames?
Best of luck!

Re: String Alternatives
Hey Tryn2 Tap,
I think your best bet is to PM Greg Howard directly. He is really receptive to people who have these sorts of problems, and he will be able to tell you which alternate, non-stick strings will best fit your model.
Just send him a PM which explains your situation, and I am sure things will be cleared up in short order.

Re: String Alternatives
I have always used SE strings form my 10 and 12 string Stick's but I have used Kalium strings for other instruments and have been very pleased. They have a bunch of options (gauges, length, ball ends) so you will need to assemble your own set.
Every once in a while you will read about long delivery times from Kalium. I have not experienced that but I've read it enough times that I believe it has been a real problem. Hopefully they have overcome that.

Re: String Alternatives
I use Newtones. I like them. http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/strings-c1/chapman-stick-strings-c40/newtone-strings-newtone-stick-tapping-strings-08-95-12-string-p2243BTW - If you want to cut out the middle man, go direct to the manufacturer. Tell them what you want and they will make them for you. https://www.newtonestrings.com/contact/Try'n2Tap wrote: Has anybody ever found another location to purchase strings for a 12 string grand?

I know I have seen previous threads about strings. Just wondering if anybody found a good workable solution? They no longer sell to you? They still show up on the website.... https://stick-enterprises-store.myshopi ... tring-setsJust click and order....yes? TP
