Surely you don't think that the factories that spin out 10,000,000 miles of nylon and flourocarbon filament every week, do it just for musical instruments especially ukuleles that use it in 60cm lengths (and it comes in lots of different shades from clear to black including green blue red and brown )... A lot of it goes to the world wide fishing industries who must get through millions of miles of it making nets ect:....most of it ends up floating about in the sea eventually killing off wildlife.

I recently purchased some 95 M flourocarbon leaders .. 4 different sizes cost me about £70 , if i cut them up into soprano size lengths and put it into packets..and sell them at £7 a set I wood make approx: £800 or more profit .. and I think thats what a lot of these uke string suppliers do..only they buy the stuff in bulk
What’s your take on companies that sell classical guitar strings? Do they just buy the same generic product and ‘brand engineer’ them? Does any company actually manufacture their own strings or request exact specifications from the large manufacturers of such material. Funny to consider that there is actually only one factory pumping out millions of miles of plastic thread every week.
