Thanks to this thread I've just bought my first set of Custom Lights from Elixir - the only ones available here in Brisbane. I'm absolutely delighted with them on my Japanese Lowden but at $37 AUD they certainly are quite pricey. If I could find them at about $14 US or less I would consider buying them from overseas, but the only price I've seen to date at a US site they were $25 US. Any clues would be appreciated. I intend to do a lot more playing in 2001.Regards, John
