If the supply is coming from the States, the reason could be that International shipping charges from the US have almost doubled since January 2013. Where it used to be about $4 US to send one CD to the UK, it's now over $7 and that's even without the plastic case. I would suggest that you have folks who are touring or visiting here buy the strings here in the US (if you love 'em) and cart 'em over in the luggage. I service a lot of radio stations internationally and I have begun to offer broadcast quality digital downloads of full albums with PDF copies of the booklets to DJs outside the US. Unfortunately, I have had to put up my CD prices especially for International sales. That said, folks can still purchase a digital download for a lesser price. Debra Cowan
