Absolutely fantastic seller
Absolutely fantastic seller. Lots of products available, and very reasonably priced. I was very pleased with how quickly they sent out my strings, and it was nice that they took the time to include a note which directed me to resources to ensure that the specialist strings ordered would not be damaged upon installation.
I will definitely be back the next time I need synthetic mandolin strings!

Excellent selection of strings
An excellent selection of strings for guitars, ukuleles, etc. I have bought strings for ukuleles with unconventional tuning and for electro-acoustic bass guitar. In each case he service was prompt, efficient and friendly. Delivery by first class mail meant that I didn't have to wait for the strings.

First class service
First class service! I needed a very specific string for a baritone ukulele I play in an non standard tuning. I called Artisan and they literally could not have been more helpful. Chris totally knew his product lines and was able to advise exactly what I needed. He also explained the differences between two string types and without his help I would have almost certainly have ordered incorrectly. I have now used them several times and 100% pleased with the product lines, friendly advice and service!

I would never buy from anywhere else now
I have been using Original Artisan you years and always found them to be most accommodating, even when I have been difficult and returned items for others.
Everything arrives swiftly and there has never been an issue. They even gave me advice about how to lengthen the life of my strings.
