Okay, I heard back from them today; here's their message;
Dear Mr Johnson,
Thank you for your interest in our PIRASTRO double bass Oliv/Eudoxa strings. Much to our regret, the requested strings are not available right now due to high demand from our dealers.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
Pirastro GmbH
Customer Service
Uhhh..... Okay..... thanks for clearing that up....
If they ever decide to get out of the string business, they may have a bright future in politics.
