RE: online string dealers (UK)? (in reply to Jon Boyes)
Hi Jon, I recently bought some la bella 820b's from "El mundo Flamenco" They are situated in london so I just go to the shop, but I see you are in the west country so not as simple. If you google their name you will find their site and you can order them from there. I'm not sure if they actually have the strings listed on the site but in the "order form" section it says they have them. And they always seem to have plenty in stock. If you email or phone them they will be very helpful.

expensive eh? I usually pay £7.40 per pack at el mundo, and normally buy 2 or 3 packs at a time. How many packs do you normally buy at once? and do online string suppliers do bulk offers? Maybe I can be saving myself some cash!!

I pay £4.30 for the same strings , like you for a few sets a time. If I bought in bulk they'd be even cheaper. I stopped buying strings in guitar shops about five years ago, it makes no financial sense.
