Ordering Individual Strings (Steel, Phosphor Bronze, and Extra Long Wound)

• Please refer to your tuning/string gauge chart to get the diameters. If you need strings for other instruments, include the diameter and actual length needed.  Please don't send me an order with the notes of your dulcimer.  All I need  is the sizes. 

• Create a list and add shipping (see below). If you have one of my instruments, email your order and I'll just bill you.

• If you aren't sure what you need, get a micrometer which measures small diameters and recreate a string gauge chart or a list.

• Complete sets of strings with prices are on the tuning/string gauge chart page.

• Pay the total through my Ordering Page or send a check with your order.

Steel Strings with loop ends ($1.25 per string) 

Note: I can supply just plain wire (with no loop ends) but only in lengths 10' or less, the cost is .25 cents a ft.  If you need more than 10', it would come in increments of that amount.

Phosphor-Bronze with loop ends ($1.75 each)

Note:  I will be slowly phasing out the use of these strings. I still have some stock and will sell this material until it is gone.  I'm all out of 23PB. You can substitute a .026 wound string for a Phosphor-Bronze course but replace both strings in the course.

20 - 80 Brass Extra Long Wound Strings with loop ends ($2 each)

Specify the gauge you'd like. Most of the core wire for these strings is 51" long with the wrapped portion being 48". On the lighter gauge wire the wrap is usually shorter. If length of core and wrap are critical, contact me to get specifics for the gauges you are interested in.
