Living Water Ukulele Strings 100% Pure Fluorocarbon Made In Heaven
Ken is a fantastic player and instructor giving workshops and explaining songs online. Ken is also one of those persons with high standards for musical instruments and their complements, such as strings, so when Living Water Strings were made available, I knew it would be something wonderful. I quickly popped an email over to Ken in England asking if we might be able to carry the strings at UKE Republic, and the next day I received a phone call. Ken and I have known each other for a while, and he told me that if he did decide to have dealers carry, I would be the first to have the option of stocking them. Fast forward to May 2014, and I'm honored to say UKE Republic is currently the only authorized dealer of Living Water Strings outside of England. This is also fantastic for our customers requesting from UKE Republic.

Here is a quote from Living Water. I like how the packaging says made in heaven, but Ken tells us where they are made.
"Manufactured from hi-tech fluorocarbon, these strings give a wonderfully vibrant, crystal-clear tone to your ukulele. They are made to exacting standards, with a complex polymer structure formulated to give both strength and flexibility whilst maintaining excellent resistance to abrasion. In other words, they don't break easily; they vibrate well and last a long time."
They are actually made in England.
