Re: Week 2: Vibrations and Virtuosos

@Blaise Laflamme LOS doesn't deliver to Singapore. So for me SBM is still best option as it is much cheaper than I can get from the physical stores here. Gonna try Corum next.

Yes, they looked really good, I just ordered an extra G and B strings and this time I’m going to triple loop them. In your opinion is there any other comparable strings that are cheaper?
