Discover the pinnacle of string innovation with the XS Phosphor Bronze Mandolin Guitar Strings, Light, 10-38 Gauge, a set of eight strings that redefine the playing experience for mandolin enthusiasts. Crafted by the esteemed D'Addario brand, these strings are engineered for unparalleled durability, quality, and performance.
The XS Phosphor Bronze strings are a testament to D'Addario's commitment to excellence, offering the longest life of any D'Addario mandolin string. The XS coating technology ensures that each warm, balanced phosphor bronze string is endowed with maximum longevity, while providing an exceptionally smooth playing feel that artists desire.
Constructed with a robust NY Steel core and enveloped in a phosphor bronze wrap wire, these strings are fortified with Fusion Twist technology. This combination results in an unrivaled break strength and tuning stability, significantly extending the lifespan of the strings. The light 10-38 gauge offers a harmonious balance of playability and rich resonance, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of musical styles.
The D'Addario Tone lives on in every string, as XS breathes new life into coated strings. Each wound string features an ultra-thin film coating, and the plain steels are treated with a unique polymer, providing the highest level of protection against the elements. This ensures lasting tone and maximum life, preserving the full, bright harmonic overtones even after extensive use.
The hex core construction, a D'Addario innovation, utilizes a precision-drawn hexagonal core that allows the wrap wire to securely grip the core. This leads to superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability, and precise intonation. The Fusion Twist feature is designed to prevent slack in the twist, thereby maintaining maximum tuning stability and increasing break strength for the premium plain steel strings.
NY Steel, processed in D'Addario's exclusive wire facility in Farmingdale, New York, is a testament to the brand's dedication to innovation. The premium high carbon steel is the foundation for unmatched tuning stability and superior break resistance.
D'Addario's meticulous wire drawing process, performed on in-house machines, produces musical instrument wire that meets exact specifications. This control over materials and equipment translates to high-performance products that deliver extraordinary sounds.
