A question for fun only

[Zumbilly(Murdoch)]

If You were to renew every string on every instrument(steels and others) You own, How many strings would You need?
I would need 69 strings for 10 instruments.
I bet there are a few guys who would need a hundred or more.
Best regards
Billy

Well over 200 for me Billy. 275 to be precise (the odd number is caused by my 5 string banjo)

I have over 100 sets of my favourite Cobra Coil pedal steel strings. I also buy my guitar strings in bulk and have 200 sets or more.

Hmmmmm... gotta stop hoarding
31 instruments totalling 204 strings
fortunately I don't have a piano

What a great fun thread.
Total only 26 ( 2 PSG ,1 dobro )

Aha, a string thread! Does a cheese board count as I use an unwound 17 as a fine cheese cutter?

[JohnDavisStringsHere]

OMG! This is irresistible.........
I have to remind you guys that Rebecca is still supplying the Buddy Emmons Signature string sets and the price is...

E9th £7 per set ......... C6th £8 per set, ......... 12 string Uni. £9 per set

post/packing = £3 - 50 for up to 10 sets>>>>>>>>

TRUST YOU JD TO GET AN ADVERT IN

[Tony Russell Davis]

759. (honest, used a spreadsheet!).

[Donny Johnston]

1x D10, 1xS10 = 30
1 Guitar = 6
1 Dobro = 6
1 lap steel = 6
= 48

O.K., grand total (excluding cheese board) is 65. Makes you wonder how much of our lives we spend changing strings. Thanks for starting this off Billy-what on earth made you think of it? Cheers, Andy.
