Press Release: 6ix String Canadian Guitar Strings Now Available Coast to Coast
Now available in music stores coast to coast. Mind the gap.
6ix String Manufacturing Inc. is proud to announce that 6ix String guitar strings are starting a second Canadian retail trial, this time with A&P Music in Clarenville, Newfoundland and Labrador.
This marks another important step for 6ix String, a Calgary-based manufacturer building guitar strings in Canada. After launching a first retail trial with Tom Lee Music in Vancouver, 6ix String is now working with A&P Music, a family-run independent music store on Canada’s east coast.
The result is technically coast to coast. There may be a few gaps in between, roughly the size of Canada.
The new A&P Music retail trial gives players in Newfoundland and Labrador the opportunity to buy Canadian-made 6ix String sets directly from an independent Canadian music store. The opening order has shipped as a practical mix of acoustic and electric guitar strings, chosen to give local players a strong first look at the 6ix String lineup.
“A&P Music reached out because they wanted to see Canadian-made strings in a Canadian music store,” said Vincent Danger, founder of 6ix String Manufacturing Inc. “That means a lot. This started through word of mouth from a Canadian guitar player, and it has turned into our second retail trial. I could not be prouder to have A&P Music as a partner.”
The first A&P Music order includes:
RHYMES WITH MARIO Phosphor Bronze Acoustic — 12–53
Canadian-made phosphor bronze acoustic strings built for players who want strong response, balanced feel, easy installation and a full acoustic voice.
RHYMES WITH MARIO Phosphor Bronze Acoustic — 13–56
A heavier phosphor bronze acoustic set for players who want more tension, more drive, and a stronger fundamental under the pick.
PERFECT STEEL Nickel Electric — 10–46
A familiar regular light electric set built with 8% nickel-plated Canadian steel wrap wire and a zinc-plated high-carbon steel core for a strong, bright, responsive voice with the flexibility and sustain of round-core construction.
PERFECT STEEL Nickel Electric — 9–42
A lighter nickel electric set for players who want a lighter feel, clear tone and dependable tuning stability.
LEGENDARY OUTLAW 80/20 Bronze Acoustic — 12–54
A bright, lively 80/20 bronze acoustic set for players who want quick response, strong projection and a clear acoustic edge.
6ix String manufactures guitar strings in Calgary, Alberta, with a focus on feel, tone, consistency, and Canadian-made production. Each set is built with attention to detail and inspected before packaging.
Players in Newfoundland and Labrador are invited to visit A&P Music in Clarenville, support an independent Canadian music store, and pick up a set when they arrive. Canadian strings belong in Canadian music stores. This is a good place to prove it.
