Shock mount cord spool

[Snarl 12/8]

Hi,

I have some very old shock mounts that have lost the elasticity in the shock cord. I've lost some of the shock cords. Is there a spool of something I could buy that would let me restring all my shockmounts cheaper than buying all the bespoke little hair tie looking things from all the manufacturers?

Thanks,

Amazon has everything -- https://www.amazon.com/Elastic-String-B ... B0C6MFFXL8

of course you will either have to make knots or find some type of metal crimp clasp, but like I said Amazon has everything...

Elastic hair bands work a treat, cheap.

Nice selection at McMaster-Carr:

Also check bead stores.

these are what I actually use myself:

depending on the color I need. You just have to re-string them a little bit different, so they fit right. They are "one size fits all", where as the spools would give you more flexibility, but will cost more in the end.

When you buy the bulk chord, how are you attaching the ends to make the loop?

First, you hafta cut the chord with a B#, the you smash it together on Ab.

Tie a knot. The thin stuff knots fairly well.

or use those metal crimp rings like I posted much earlier. slip them on, squeeze them flat - like they do with those bracelets.

or follow this and just omit the beads. https://sarahmaker.com/beaded-bracelets/

Duh, I totally breezed past the second link in your post.

Depending on the brand of mic, Sweetwater does have a few. Like for those Neumann spidermounts for the TLM103, and a few other more generic ones.
