Hey folks,
As a tribute to Dirk and to help Sheldra close out his estate, I have agreed to take on a chunk of the remaining string inventory and offer it up for sale as individual sets. What I have are all reentrant, "no wound" sets, as follows:
Extra Light Gauge XLU (4 available: 2 pending, 4 sold)
Sheldra had to remove a lot of the pages from the Southcoast web site to prevent new orders from coming in, but I was able to find the description page at the Wayback Machine here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20180401143521/http://www.southcoastukes.com:80/uku-nw.htm
(I was also able to retrieve many of the charts for keys, scales, and tensions, but I understand many folks find them to be confusing. I will do a follow-up post below with recommended uses for each of the sets. Or if you have a specific uke in mind, I'll be happy to sort through that with you.)
The most recent retail prices ranged from $10.90 to $12.50. In order to keep this simple, I am offering these for $12 per set, regardless of gauge. First class US shipping will be a flat rate of $3 for 1-5 sets. 6 or more sets will be $7 for priority
NEW: Free shipping on all remaining Extra Light sets
For international orders, shipping will be at cost, so that may take some extra time to figure out. (As an example, first class to Australia is about $14, priority $35.)
Preferred payment will be through PayPal. If you want to do something else, send me a note and we can discuss it.
I have set up an email account specifically for this project:
stringsales@justemail.net
Please send orders, questions, or comments to that address.
Thanks!
Jim
P.s. Full disclosure: my cost was not quite full retail, but my intent was not to hoard up these strings, but to get them out to the ukulele community. Best case, if all the sets get sold, I earn a few "free" sets for my own use.
These are all gone:
Light Gauge LU (0 available, 4 sold)
Medium Gauge MU-NW (0 : 12 sold)
Soft Light Medium Gauge SLMU-NW (0 : 10 sold)
Soft Medium Gauge SMU-NW (0 : 5 sold)
Light Heavy Gauge LHU-NW (0 : 2 sold)
Heavy gauge ukulele set HU-NW (0 : 5sold)
