Location: Katmandu		It seems the entire Adamas string series is being reissued with new packaging but to its original specifications. Those strings haven't been available for quite some time at least in my region.

The fifth (A5) and sixth (E6) string still utilize the core and wrap wire of identical size.

Location: Frozen Tundra of Minnesota		I only heard when I tried to order some old stock from Sam Ash, and accidently hit that "Talk to a real person" button. The nice young man who came on told me that they were going to be making them again, but were waiting to find out who the distributor was going to be... He said that I could go ahead and put my order in now, so I am assuming that Sam Ash will be selling them.

I mentioned the return of Adamas strings in the NAMM thread back in January. I didn't know the tiemframe though.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		There was a time when you could pick up a dozen 1818s for about the same price as a dozen EJ16s on sale. I picked up a dozen each of both the 1717s and 1818s. Still have some of the 1717s which I rarely use these days.

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains		There was a time when you could buy Adamas strings for something like $45 per dozen. I sure did, and then the available inventory on the market vanished. Those strings on the wall may be a few years old.

Location: Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA		Hi, Everyone,
When we were selling the former version of Adamas Strings in the red packaging, at the music store I worked in, way back some 30 years ago, the Ovation rep for Eastern Canada told us the, 'E' , simply stood for "Enviromental", because a new type of "anti-corrosive", and "earth-friendly" material was used to package the strings. It was just for North America. The more things change, the more they stay the same. The new Adamas Strings may be carried by Long and McQuade in Canada, in about 3-4 months, again, maybe? I got a " No Comment" type e-mail from D'Addario Canada, when I asked them about the new Adamas Strings. Go figure?
