After meticulous crafting, the D'Addario XS Mandolin Phosphor Bronze Strings set emerges as a game-changer in the music industry. This set, designed for mandolins, combines D'Addario's most sought-after acoustic alloy with their cutting-edge string coating technology. The result is a set of strings that deliver a clear, resonant tone, a smooth playing feel, and unparalleled tuning stability, all while ensuring the longest possible string lifespan.
These medium gauge mandolin strings are made from phosphor bronze, a material celebrated for its durability and its ability to produce a rich, warm sound. This makes them an ideal choice for musicians seeking to extract the best performance from their instruments.
The D'Addario XS Mandolin Strings are more than just strings; they are a testament to innovation. Each wound string features an ultra-thin film coating, and the plain steels undergo a unique polymer treatment. This combination offers the highest level of protection against contaminants, ensuring lasting tone and maximum string life.
The strings are crafted with precision-drawn hexagonal cores, a pioneering innovation by D'Addario. This design allows the wrap wire to grip the core tightly, enhancing dimensional stability, durability, and precise intonation. The fusion twist feature further prevents slack in the twist, ensuring maximum tuning stability and higher break strength.
These strings are made from NY Steel, processed exclusively in D'Addario's wire facility in Farmingdale, New York. This premium high carbon steel delivers unmatched tuning stability and superior break resistance. The in-house wire drawing machines produce musical instrument wire to exact specifications, ensuring high-performance products.
With the D'Addario XS Mandolin Strings, your harmonic overtones will remain full and bright even after many hours of playing. Spend less time tuning and more time playing, as these strings have proven to stay in tune better than standard strings. They are ideal for all genres, making them a versatile choice for any musician.
