"Hi Nick, I emailed them, they are still going."
"The Clifford Essex wound 4ths were/are wound with Monel which lasts a long time, they also sound very good. The best wound 4ths of the past were the Clifford Essex 'copper polished' 4ths which lasted a week if you were lucky but sounded…"
"I understood that CE sourced their strings from Picato too, as did Chris Sands, I found upon enquiry that this company too seem to have ceased trading"

Nut Material
I need to change the nut on my Clifford Essex Professional. It currently has an ebony one but I'm not happy with the string spacing.
