If Cali and Alden (Olympic) are still selling strings, they'd definitely be the best bet. Otherwise, I don't think you can get Savarez gut strings in the US. The only other practical way I know of to buy them is from Arpeges in Paris. Here's the Savarez strings page from their website: _http://www.arpeges.fr/instruments/CORDES-19/CORDES-491/CORDES-INSTRUMENT-ANCIEN-1382/_ (http://www.arpeges.fr/instruments/CORDES-19/CORDES-491/CORDES-INSTRUMENT-ANCIEN-1382/) . And here's the email: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) . As I recall, there are some salespeople there who speak good English, although I normally communicate with them in French. The Arpeges folks are very efficient and friendly...the only downside to buying your Savarez strings from them is the painful French export duty on sales to countries outside of France...so be forewarned.

I get my mine from Olympic Instruments, i.e. Alden and Cali.
