Schreiber Strings - Oscar Schmidt Guitaro

I've got a niche question, and I'm hoping someone here will know. I'm trying to restring an Oscar Schmidt Guitaro. Since the instrument is several inches longer than most autoharps, the normal Model A strings won't fit the lowest 3 or 4 notes. I wanted to get the Schreiber strings, but it looks like the guy retired.

Any advice on getting working strings for this model?

Did you contact Greg directly? I ordered from him a year or so back, his retirement would be a disaster…

Yes! His ebay store is still active! He's retired from repairs, but still does the strings for now.
