St. Louis, MO – February 2, 2026 – St. Louis Music (SLM) is pleased to announce that it is now distributing Elixir® Strings, the premium guitar string brand renowned for its innovative coated-string technology. Product will be available to the St. Louis Music dealer network beginning March 2026.
Elixir Strings is widely recognized for pioneering coated-string technology that dramatically extends string life while preserving natural tone and feel. Developed using proprietary polymer innovations from W. L. Gore & Associates, Elixir strings protect against corrosion, dirt and sweat—the primary causes of tone loss—delivering consistent performance far longer than conventional strings.
Trusted by professional and everyday players worldwide, Elixir Strings offers a comprehensive range of acoustic, electric, bass and classical strings, featuring NANOWEB® and POLYWEB® coatings. Each coating provides a distinct feel while maintaining Elixir’s signature longevity and reliability.
“We’re proud to become a U.S. distributor of Elixir Strings and add yet another world class brand to our Marketplace division,” says Chris Meikle, COO & EVP at St. Louis Music. “We look forward to delivering our signature service and support to Elixir and dealers across the U.S.”
