Your cart is empty.Apart from the plain mandolin E string, these strings are made of tin-plated silver steel, flat wound with chrome steel wire and finely polished. Their elastic, steel alloy core has a high inertia to musical vibration. On the instrument, the mandolin strings sound clear and brilliant, with no metallic twang. The string's structure has been optimized for tremolo play. This string set responds well to fast changes of fingering. Tuning is stable and the strings are durable. Thomastik-Infeld mandolin strings are supplied in pairs, and we recommend changing strings two at a time.

Le jeu fort est très agréable à entendre .Pour la dureté des cordes, il n'y a pas de grosse différence et on s'y fait, mais vraiment le son est d'une pureté exceptionnelle!!!

The best strings for resonator mandolin! I've used these on my National Resophonic mandolin for the past 3 years. they last a LONG time (6 to 12 months), so don't be put off by the seemingly high price.

Just what my mandolin needed.

I use these strings on a Trinity College mandola, and they are just barely long enough. They run a little shorter than other mandolin strings -- and they are LOOP-END, not ball-end, so they should work with most acoustic mandolins.Thomastik strings are the loudest, brightest, and most flexible flat-wound strings I've found, that said they're still a bit darker than bronze and don't have a harsh bark some people like in their chop. The strings don't have the "dead" sound that flat-wound La Bella and D'Addario strings have, either -- the sustain is about as good as any round-wound mandolin string I've found. Thomastik heavy strings feel flexible when fretted, especially for a heavy or flat-wound string, and are easy to play.If you're worried about the cost, flat-wound strings last much longer than round-wound, collecting less finger dirt, and you might consider wiping down the strings with string cleaner regularly. Longer-lasting strings mean more play time, which I think by itself justifies the cost.

I ordered the Thomastik 154ST mandolin strings, these are loop end which is what I expected to receive just like the picture and not what the description says (ball end), the Thomastik ball end is 154K for those who are interested. So one more time, these are loop end (see attached pictures). Very nice strings and would buy them again, the vender shipped very quickly from the UK and I received them in the USA in ten days. Happy with the purchase.
