Elixir Strings Mandolin Strings w NANOWEB Coating, Light (.010-.034)
Prolong your tone with the same premium mandolin strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available. Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated mandolin strings. Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes? Crafted to last, these mandolin strings constructed with 80/20 (80% copper, 20% zinc) bronze wrap wire boast a bright, bell-like tone while the NANOWEB Coating allows a traditionally textured, “uncoated” feel. Elixir Strings: Great tone. Long life.

I keep a few extra sets around for regular changes, but they aren’t exactly cheap, so I still keep a small supply of J74s on-hand for the occasional case of just in case. With regular care and feeding…
Holy Crap, these are great strings. Having been playing stringed instruments for quite a few years now, I have always ran medium gauge strings on all my axes because that’s just what I always bought. In the past year on the recommendation by a friend to try a lighter gauge string to relieve some of the pressure on my hands I was delighted with the results. When it came time to give the old mandolin a tune up, I opted for the Elixir light gauge stings and I am tickled pink on the results. These strings are bright, responsive, and…
