Chris Sands banjo strings

[Trevor Boyd]

I have seem these recommended several times but I'm not sure where to buy them.  Can anybody recommend a supplier and - ideally - post a link please?

Many thanks

Trevor

Hi Trevor,

In the US there is Elderly:

I'm sure there are more places in the UK to get them, but a Google search came up with:

http://www.browndogbanjos.co.uk/5-string-banjo-strings-12-c.asp

I'm no expert, but I've basically only used Chris Sands brand strings on all of my classic banjos and I like 'em.

Good Luck!

Dave

I buy mine directly from Chris Sands, they are usually a pound or two cheaper than elsewhere...if you put Sands, Ambleside in the BT online residential phone book you should find his phone number...Steve.

Thanks, both, for your replies. I noticed a link to Chris Sands' email address on the UK Sibley site. I might give that a try.
Best wishes
Trevor

NB I've had my strings for about 18 months so I thought it might be time to to try some new ones :-)
