EJ80 Phosphor Bronze Octave Mandolin Strings, Medium, 12-46

Excellent strings. Good price. Shipped quickly.

As advertised

The strings are paired together which allows for easy installation. They sound great.

These are about the best mandola strings you'll find especially at this price.

I buy these strings for my tenor banjo. That way i get two sets for the price of one. Doesn't hurt that they sound pretty good too.

Item fits my octave mandolin just fine, and sounds good.

I needed to contact the company for information. Great personal service and a precise, well made product.

These are good strings but like most uncoated strings do not last all that long. I wish that D'Addario would make these in a coated version.

As will all products from d'Addario, it's quality!

Drei Saiten haben gefehlt und eine war in zwei Hälften zerlegt. Musste mir nun einen neuen Satz bestellen und nochmal warten. Diese Saiten bestelle ich auf jeden Fall nicht nochmal.

J'ai monté ces cordes sur un "Bajo Sexto" (Guitare acoustique Mexicaine 12 cordes) accordé en La (A), et de plus en Quinte comme le Mandocello: A-E-B-F#-C#-E Du grave à l'aigu (Accordage de Robert Fripp en Do (C) Depuis 1985, mais une tierce mineure plus bas). Le résultat est absolument étonnant. Évidement, il manque les 4 cordes aigus spécifiques au "Bajo Sexto" et la, il suffit de monter des cordes de guitares acoustiques normales, je précise, cordes "Plain" filés plats et non filées rond ou "Round Wound" en Anglais, la tension étant trop forte. Au lieu de bassiner l'auditoire avec les sempiternelles reprises qui font plaisir au plus grand nombres, mais qui n'apporte rien à la Musique elle même, de grâce, il faut expérimenter de nouvelles solutions pour un nouveau siècle avec un nouveau répertoire. Logique, non?

使い初めは、音もそこそこ、弦の色も金ピカで綺麗。次第に弦の色落ちが始まり、指先が真っ黒け！驚きだった。

I ordered two sets for my mandolin and they came weeeks apart. The first set was put on my mandolin and the EE strings kept popping ( not breaking) just before reachind tune. I tok my mandolin to Long and McQuaid locally and they showed me what the popping sound was..the strings stretched as they were being tuned and looked at the base like they were stretched way too thin just by regular tuning. The second set was put on my mandolin and so far work well. The people at Long and MacQuaid said they had never seen a string stretch like that before. Im hoping the second set work OK...I have used this string brand for my guitar and mandolin for decades.
