D'Addario EJ74 11-40 Medium Phosphor Bronze Mandolin String

These are quality strings which bring a good and well balanced sound to my mando. I play every day, as I’m in three ensembles, and they last very well. Maybe a tiny amount of improvement or life could be had by strings costing two or three times more, but in my experience, nothing beats these for price/performance/longevity! Recommended!

Las cuerdas sacan muy buen sonido. Es la primera vez que las uso y me han sorprendido por el volumen y el brillo que producen. Todo un acierto para la mandolina.

The choice of ball end strings is limited so these are excellent if you want long life and typical mandolin tone.

Excellent quality strings. Cant beat Daddario

I just purchased my first mandolin not long ago second hand and the strings don’t look as if they have ever been changed. I have been looking forward to hearing that first bright chord that new strings produce. -Shipping was amazing! The product came to me wrapped and in a box. There were no visible problems or issues with my item in transit. Amazon does know how to package stuff. -Durability was also impressive. I have been changing strings on instruments for 20+ and I always cringe when tightening the last few turns on the machine heads. I had no string breaks or sting stretching. I feel like a lot of that depends on the experience of the user but I feel like it would still be hard to ruin these quality strings. -Ease of use was incredibly easy. It’s changing strings so you just go from top to bottom or bottom to top. Remember to do it in sections! Don’t remove all the strings at once. You can mess with intonation that way. All-in-all I would highly recommend these strings to anyone who enjoys playability and great resonance in their strings. The sound was beautiful and bright. Everything I was looking for in strings I have never used before. 5of 5!!!
