Ukulele nuts, that is. Not cashews.

Where can I buy nuts (and/or bridges) for a soprano uke
-separately (not in a build package)
-online
-that are available internationally (so, will ship outside of the US)?


Thanks! (I realize this might have been asked many times, but "nuts" is common of a search word, so I couldn't find anything relevant when I searched for it).
 
See if seller "taisamlu" on eBay has them. They'll be ox bone. He usually accepts an offer price that's 25%-40% off his asking price. The parts will ship from Taiwan.

He's also a good source for other ukulele parts.
 
Don't buy uke parts. Buy bone guitar blanks instead. From each you will be able to get a nut AND a saddle.

Thats the kind of knowledge i like :D
Could i use a nut/saddle from one of my guitars onb my cigar-box uke wich still is only a project in my head? I've got several crappy guitars just collecting dust in the attic.

That's what I do. I buy a guitar saddle blank from stew-mac for about $5 and make the nut and saddle from it. Works for me.
 
Thank you to everyone for your most excellent (and quick!) advice and recommendations. These are some really good resources!
