Elixir Strings Mandolin Strings w NANOWEB Coating, Medium (.011-.040)
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.

Usually, the first couple weeks with new strings you need to re-tune frequently due to stretch but I’ve been using these for a few months and they still won’t stay in tune. At the end of a 30 min practice session, I’ll need to re-tune all the strings other than sometimes the E strings. I have since bought another…
