Hello and Good Morning,
It seems the computer is acting O.K. today and so far allowing me to work on our site. Thanks to everybody who's dropping in to order strings and to everyone who just drops in. Please enjoy our site, check out our string selection and order up the strings you want to try at a great price. We ship to your door for less than buying them retail. What could be better in these times of high oil, food and precious metal prices. Put on some new strings from globalstrings, sit back and play. Enjoy and All the Best.

Happy Cinco de Mayo,
Glad you could drop in to globalstrings on this honoured Mexican Holiday. It's a great, sunny warm day here in Southern Ontario and hopefully you can get out a bit to enjoy it. Was at a fun jam in Erin yesterday. Got to hear some very good musicians and get a wee bit o' playin' in myself. Hopefully more jamming will come of it. Thanks to all who came out, hope to see you on-line ordering strings soon. Had a lot of fun and will be out again. That's all for today. Get your string orders in on time to receive them by the weekend for jamming. All the Best.
