Savarez Alliance KF45 - .45 mm / 0.0177 inches, Single String

I can’t say enough good things about Strings By Mail. I recently needed strings for my 8-string ukulele in a very specific D–A–D–F♯ tuning, with low strings on top of each course. Not only did they have the right variety of Suarez, Savarez, and D’Addario strings, but they also went the extra mile to help me sort out special orders so I could put together the exact set I needed.

Their team took the time to work with me on the details — matching wound and plain strings for octave courses, balancing gauges, and making sure my setup would be playable and comfortable. That kind of attention is rare these days, and it made all the difference.

Thanks to their help, I now have a perfectly tailored 8-string setup that fits my unique tuning and playing, and I couldn’t be happier. If you’re looking for not just great string options but also real support for unusual setups, Strings By Mail is the place.

They work great. 1 is used as the high C octave string and the other as the low A octave string on my vintage 1972 Kamaka tiki head Liliu 6 string ukulele.
