Buying lap steel string in Ontario

Post by Paul Lafountaine »

I was wandering if anyone knew of a place in Ontario were I could purchase a set of C6 strings for an 8 string lap. I am looking for some place I could order online. Thing can be hard to find in Sudbury, we only have a few music shops here.

Thanks

Paul, I would try here first: http://countrypickin.com/ Although it is in Alberta, Jeff Bradshaw who runs it is extremely fast and gets the item shipped usually the same day

Hey Pat, that is what happens to me when I have a few cold ones! Thanks Bent, my rule of thumb for purchasing is local first, provincial, country, then any were else. I will check out the site in your post here.

Thanks

This is Al Brisco's site. I think there is a $40.00 min order though.
