D'Addario XTM11540

Premium coated strings for mandolin. An extended lifespan treatment on every string in the set preserves the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings. Strings last at least 4 times longer than traditional uncoated strings without sacrificing the tone or feel that players know and love. Made using a high carbon NY steel core, XT strings are incredibly break resistant, hold seriously strong tuning stability and protect against corrosion. Phosphor Bronze is a 92% copper, 8% tin alloy with traces of phosphorous. These produce a naturally warm, smooth tone.
