D'AddarioXS Mandolin Phosphor Bronze Strings (11-40)
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
D'Addario XS Phosphor Bronze 11-40 strings are a coated mandolin set built around high-tensile NY Steel cores. The wound strings use an ultra-thin polymer coating to resist dirt and moisture, while the plain strings receive a separate polymer treatment for corrosion resistance. Fusion-Twist ball-end winding targets two practical concerns: string-break resistance and tuning stability. For players trying to extend the time between string changes, the set focuses on maintaining tone and feel over a longer interval.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Mandolin players looking to extend time between string changes.
- Players seeking resistance to dirt, moisture, and corrosion across wound and plain strings.
- Players prioritizing break resistance and tuning stability at the ball end.
