Does anyone know where I might buy individual Aquila A strings for my tenor uke? The 1st string seems to break with extensive use, but long before the other strings are ready to be replaced. As a result I've accumulated a bunch of partial sets (minus the A string).
 
I use Aquilas exclusively and know they are prone to breaking on sharp edges. Check the suggestions by DeG. I'm betting the culprit is the nut slot. Sand the slot carefully in all directions with a small piece of 400 to 600 grit sandpaper. Just a few strokes will take care of it if this is your problem.
I do not know any source that sells individual strings (unless you want to buy a couple of thousand of them!).
