You might try to find a local piano tuner/repair type person. They would be able to help you in that search. I am sure you could get some long enough, and they can always be cut off to the appropriate length.

There are lots of good strings out there, but I like the Rotos' the best. I keep Jazzbass flats on my J-bass, but use the Swingbass rounds on the P. Every now and then I try a different brand, and some I like, but always end up back the the R's. What gauge is your fav?
