SoundPost 'Direct Line' PRICE LIST 2008 Violin Strings
Terms: S 'D.L.' (SoundPost 'Direct Line' ) prices below include VAT, postage free anywhere in mainland UK for strings in packets- Straight strings in tube charged at £5 extra, minimum order £5, no credit card surcharges, these prices apply only to purchases made from this website, or via e-mail, or mail order via telephone-- (the prices in the shop may vary.)
NOTE: Due the recent changes in value between Pound Sterling and the Euro, prices of all items we buy in Euros has had to be increased by 8 %- (the fall in value to date is some 16% since pricing this website, but we will absorb some of this ourselves). The prices below do not including this increase- so for all EU manufactured items, incl. Thomastik, (incl Dominant) Jargar, Larsen, and Warchal and any other EU items not specified, add 8% to prices as shown below. This will be revised as the pound recovers. However, PIRASTRO have also increased their prices, so for Pirastro only, a surcharge of 20% to prices shown below must be added. We reserve the right to alter advertised prices without notice at any time.
