D'Addario Mandolin Strings, Phosphor Bronze, EJ74, Medium Gauge 11-40, 8-String Set, Pack of 1

Excellent quality strings. Cant beat Daddario

They are good strings, nice sound and long lasting

Worked fine ...good tone.

I play a top end Mandolin and i've always used these top end product.

First time I had changed mandolin strings so was a bit worried by some of the reviews saying that these strings had snapped easily. Took a bit of time since as I said I hadn't changed strings before but fitted fairly easily and brought up to tune slowly (had bought an electronic tuner at the same time). So far no issue with strings snapping or going out of tune too quickly. I would always expect new strings on guitar to take a bit of time to bed in and stretch anyway so don't expect mandolin to be any different. Mandolin sounds better than when it was new so I'm well pleased.

Good value strings, easy to fit and sound bright. Definitely an improvement on the tired old ones. There are clearly more expensive strings on the market, but I am only a beginner and probably couldn't tell the difference. These seem good enough to me.

Easy to tune with a great sound, long lasting too.

String choice is of course down to personal taste, so any review on strings is bound to be subjective. My four star review is not based therefore on the weight of the strings as that would be useless. What I will faoucs on is the quality of the strings and for the price range D'Addario simply produce the best. Phosphor bronze produces a warmer sound than their brighter nickel counterparts. If this is what your looking for this light set is for you. PROS: -Well produced, quality strings -Good life span CONS: -None
