<p>Seems different folks have different ideas about what "<strong>bulk guitar strings</strong>" mean. Some think "pre-packaged pre-cut strings of a specific size sold in sets of 5 or 12 in prices ranging from $3 to $20. Others think "25 sets of precut guitar strings where each set includes one of each sized guitar string." All seem to think you need a ball at one end (or at least a loop) in order to install the strings. Here's a couple photos to show what I mean...…</p>

<p>Sold in bulk... "Each pack contains either 48 strings or 48 sets. They come to you in a simple plastic container, with no envelopes, pouches or fancy insert cards. Just the part you actually use - the strings."</p>
<p>So, I assume you have to order three packs, one for each string size if you are making 3-string dulcimers.</p>

<p>These are sold in sets of 25 and where each set includes six strings (one of each size for a guitar). These sell at GuitarCenter.com for like $190 to $200 or so per big box. Problem is, with dulcimer builders, strings 4, 5 and 6 (times 25) go unused. So buying this way makes no sense.</p>

<p>These "bulk strings" are sold in individual sizes in sets of 5. Not bad pricing, but I still don't know if they are any longer than the strings I buy in China. I just wish string vendors would just publish the over all string length spec along with the string gauge specs.</p>
<p>I guess what I'm looking for is a local retailer who has them on big spools and can cut them to the lengths I specify just like they (maybe used) to sell wire at local hardware stores. Keep dreaming, right! I'd still have the problem of mounting the balls (or loops) on the ends of the cut strings.</p>
<p>Yep, I just need a few really long guitar strings...</p>

<p>Thanks, Randy. That's a good idea. While here in the States I can pick up some (a little) "bulk wire", if I can locate a convenient source. I'll see if I can locate a source via Google.</p>
