Review: Highly recommend - I’ve been playing mandolin for 25 years and have always used D’Addario EJ74’s but I thought I’d give the XT’s coated a try. At first I was skeptical but these XT’s are great. Warm tone, feels great on the fingers, not slippery for coated strings, feels like my J74’s. Love the tone and last twice as long. You don’t lose that bark from your chop chords. Cost twice as much but well worth it. I highly recommend these. Review: Some of the best mandolin strings on the planet! - Let's be real.

Give 'em a try! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Less tuning issues with longer lasting strings *by S***C on January 28, 2022* I haven't personally noticed any difference in sound compared to untreated strings. These strings sound plenty loud and bright and have good tone overall. They are a little pricey but they really do last a lot longer. The last time I changed sets, the strings I removed had a lot of play left in them and were staying in tune. As far as whether these gauge strings are good for beginners or not. My opinion is that heavy strings can be good for a beginner, it's going to hurt in the beginning whatever you start with. Pushing down too hard without precision is the biggest cause of pain/fatigue. If you have a quality mandolin and it is well setup for heavier strings, I don't see any harm in starting with that. Granted, you have to like the feel of heavier strings, if you like lighter better, go with that. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario XT Mandolin Strings Custom Medium (11.5-40) - D'Addario Mandolin Strings - Mandolin Strings - Phosphor Bronze - For 8 String Mandolin - Rich, Full Tonal Spectrum - EJ74 - Medium, 11-40 - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/170157412-mandolin-strings-xt-phosphor-bronze-coated-xtm11540-custom-medium-11](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/170157412-mandolin-strings-xt-phosphor-bronze-coated-xtm11540-custom-medium-11) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
