Mando strings in bulk?

[mandoman4807]

Where can one purchase strings in bulk? Not limited to buying strings in set packs? I believe (juststrings) sell complete packets only.

I just bought several dozen sets of bulk strings from JustStrings.
I bought a few dozen of four different sizes, .012, .016, .026 & .040. The strings come unwound, a dozen per a long plastic bag. You can make up your own sized sets.
Deliver was very fast. I give them five stars.
My only comment is that I un-bag all their strings, trim about 10" off the ends & re-pack them. Some of their bulk strings are multi-purpose and can be used on longer-scale instruments.

You can't beat Euphonon Strings for quality and price. I've been using them the past few years and have been extremely pleased with them...especially for the money. I'm not sure who actually makes these strings, but I would challenge anyone to distinguish between Euphonon and J74's. Sound and play the same to me anyway. Here's their website:

Isn't it cheaper to buy D'addario from FQMS at 3.99 than ordering bulk from Just Strings? Euphonon set is not the same gauge at J74 but their set price is good.

Darin,
Thanks for the added info. I will check them out as well.

3.99 for a set of j74`s is #incredible! The best I have seen is 4.50 a set, about equal to buying in bulk from just strings.
