there is a guy on ebay that makes them for 8 or 10 bucks. I got one from him a couple months ago and got it in three days. Not sure which guy but if you search ebay for Flemish String you should find it. Ebay has changed the layout of My Ebay into a giant pain in the butt to find history. If I manage to figure it out I'll post it.

If you are going to buy them on Ebay why not just work out a trade with someone here.  Just a thought.  ??? Justin

Terence, are you needing a pre-made string, or the B-50 material to make them from? I thought that you were just needing B-50 material. It's not that hard to make your own strings.
