SLM to Distribute Elixir Strings in the U.S.

April 13th 2016

SAINT LOUIS, MISSOURI – St. Louis Music is thrilled to announce a new distribution deal with Elixir Strings which will bring more purchasing choices to more music retailers throughout the USA.

“St. Louis Music is very excited to add Elixir Strings to our assortment,” said
Sr. Vice President of Sales, Robert E. Lee. “Elixir Strings is a must-stock brand and being able to offer it to our dealers is another way that St. Louis Music Marketplace continues to be a single-source stop for all of our dealers’ needs.”

Elixir Strings is the pioneer of coated string technology, and the only brand to coat the entire string, including the outer string and the gaps between the windings.  This protects the strings from build up that contaminates strings and kills tone. As a result, Elixir Strings retain their tone longer than any other string, uncoated or coated.  Elixir Strings are available in several metal and coating options in a full range of gauges for acoustic, electric and bass guitars, banjo and mandolin.

“We are energized to be working with such an accomplished team from
St. Louis Music,” said Elixir Strings Global Sales Leader Lou DiPietro. “Ultimately our goals align, as we are both committed to bringing great service to the retailers in the U.S., so that they in turn can deliver high-quality Elixir Strings to the passionate music-makers.”

Elixir Strings are manufactured by W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. Gore is a technology-driven company focused on discovery and product innovation.. Learn more at gore.com and to become a dealer contact your St. Louis Music Representative at 800-727-4512 or email at [email protected].
