If you order a storage tube, we ship the strings straightthe best way to ship and store them. If you don't buy the tube, we ship them in large diameter coils, which we feel maintains the full potential of the strings. Wound strings are delicate and should receive proper handling and storage. Keep them in a clean, dry place. If you must coil them to carry around, use as large a diameter coil as possible. Coiling them once into the size they come in when purchased in a music store is not going to kill them. Try to avoid coiling and uncoiling the strings repeatedly into small coils. This breaks down the strings and shortens their life. |
