St. Louis Music is now the exclusive distributor for Curt Mangan Strings.

Monday came around where the work began – Curt was shown around the SLM HQ where he got to meet the sales staff and talk about his strings. Visits to local St. Louis retailers followed that.
Mangan, who worked for Ernie Ball for 18 years, set up his own company in 2004 and has quickly carved out a reputation as a premium quality U.S. string manufacturer. The addition of the SLM channel will instantly add to the1000 dealers already selling Curt Mangan Strings throughout the U.S.
