    The strings were shipped timely. It was nice to have the correct gauge of strings. The overtones really come out and my sitar has a nice glow to it. The video on tying string loops was very simple and straight forward. I will be getting all my strings from MM in the future.

    I bought a beat-up sitar at a thrift store. It was missing strings and desparatley needed repair. I knew nothing about sitars. When I finally faced the daunting task of re-stringing the sitar, i found the extensive instructional video online from Musicians Mall. I ordered the strings, which arrived promptly and used the video as my step by step instructions for re-stringing my sitar and transforming it from a thrift-store curiosity to my favorite new instrument. Thanks for you products and DYI videos.

    The finest strings i have ever used.

    These are the finest strings i have ever used and I have been restringing sitars since 1968. Rapid shipment. Incredibly fair price. Plenty of string length with a little left over of the coil for spare sympathetic strings. Excellent how to video on sitar restringing. Thank you very much Musician's Mall for selling these superior strings. I will shop with you from now on. Best wishes, Gordon Smith
