How can you elevate your mandolin playing experience The answer lies in the XS Phosphor Bronze Mandolin Guitar Strings. These medium heavy, 11.5-41 gauge strings are a product of D'Addario's most significant innovation in string technology, offering the longest lifespan among all D'Addario mandolin strings.
The XS coating on these strings ensures a warm, balanced phosphor bronze tone, while providing maximum life and an exceptionally smooth feel. Constructed with a NY Steel core, phosphor bronze wrap wire, and Fusion Twist technology, these coated mandolin strings boast unparalleled break strength and tuning stability, along with a dramatically extended lifespan.
The 11.5-41 Medium Heavy gauge strings are designed to deliver the highest volume and resonance, making every strum on your mandolin a memorable one. The D'Addario tone is preserved and enhanced in every XS string, breathing new life into coated strings.
The ultra-thin film coating on every wound string and the unique polymer treatment on the plain steels offer the highest level of protection, ensuring maximum life and a smooth feel. This is a testament to the innovative design of the XS strings, which are 10x thinner than a human hair.
The Hex Core Construction, a pioneering innovation by D'Addario, features a precision-drawn hexagonal core that allows the wrap wire to grip the core for superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability, and precise intonation.
The Fusion Twist Feature prevents slack in the twist from detuning the string, ensuring maximum tuning stability and higher break strength for our premium plain steel strings.
The NY Steel used in these strings is processed in D'Addario's exclusive wire facility in Farmingdale, New York. Through advanced machinery and processes, this premium high carbon steel delivers unmatched tuning stability and superior break resistance.
D'Addario's in-house wire drawing machines produce musical instrument wire to our exact specifications, ensuring high performance products. With XS, harmonic overtones remain full and bright even after many hours of playing, offering exceptional tone longevity.
These strings also offer exceptional tuning stability, allowing you to spend less time tuning and more time playing. They are ideal for all genres, making them a versatile choice for every mandolin player. Experience the difference with XS Phosphor Bronze Mandolin Guitar Strings.
