D'Addario Phosphor Bronze Mandolin Strings EJ74, 11-40

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.

Excellent quality strings. Cant beat Daddario

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

Good strings

They are good strings, nice sound and long lasting

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

Nice strings if rather long, (but with good tone) which is better than being short!

Don’t waste your money on lighter strings if you have an arch top instrument. I used to own a 1932 Gibson A4 mandolin and made the mistake of replacing the strings with a set of 10s. The volume was almost halved. These strings are ideal for almost any modern mandolin including solid bodies but are not suitable for Neapolitan models which do require much lighter strings.u

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.

les d'addario j74 c'est un grand classique de la mandoline bluegrass; je viens d'essayer sur ma mando des cordes elixir medium et j'ai craqué au bout de 10 jours ,je viens de remettre des d'addario et c'est vraiment ce qui me convient.La tension est ok ,le son bon ,les cordes tiennent l'accord.

I was doubtful, I am not a big fan of their guitar strings, but these are excellent sounding on my mandolin and have done so for many months now

Qualidade muito boa..
