Club Sadowsky!!!

Has anyone seen the Sadowsky Blue Label Flats prices on the TB store lately? Just noticed that they are sky-high! $77 for 4-string lights, and $135 for a standard gauge 5-string set...what gives???

Still less expensive than Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flats. :ninja:

The Blue Label flats were redesigned a year or so back (?). I assume that was responsible for the price increase. I've heard nothin' but good things. Been meaning to give them a try, but I've pretty much shut my gear spending down since my gigs went away in March.

I bought two light gauge 5-string sets a couple months ago and they were $67 each. A doubling in price is a pretty big jump! Especially in such a short time span...

I am assuming this is opportunistic pricing for some remaining sets. I understand that Warwick will take over orders from the NYC shop sometime in August. I am hoping pricing normalizes at that time. Anyone know of another brand that is similar to the blue label steels in the meantime?
