My favorite Mandolin strings
Anonymous 24.01.2016
I am playing mandolin professional and i need good strings that last for a while and will give a great and a bright tone. I have A style and F style mandolins and I used many types of strings like : Elixir, Martin, Thomastik, GHS and other. The Daddario EJ74 are my all time favorite. Great quality, crisp and balanced sound. Fits great to my style.
Please take care that there are 2 types of strings. The ones with loop end and those with ball ens (like electric guitar) so order what is fits your instruments.
I will keep use the Daddario EJ74 for my mandolins and highly recommend them!

Great strings, if a bit pricey
Michael S. 639 25.07.2019
So my mando luthier put these on my Weber Gallatin after setting it up and they do sound great. They've been on there for several months now. I use GHS fast fret before and after playing, which I believe has also contributed to their logevity.

They still play smooth, though the tone is of course completely dead. If I were to gig with the strings or record I would change them more often. If and when that becomes the case I will likely look for a cheaper alternative.

But for casual (what's casual? I play 1-2 hours a day) home use and with a little care they remain playable for quite a long time, surprisingly.

Now if only Harley Benton would start producing a cheaper coated alternative.....

The Industry Standard for a reason
Mojomaster 05.01.2021
Well not much to say, these strings kick butt. Sound great for pretty much anything on any mandolin I've put them on.

Quality is top notch, sound is bright and rings beautifully. Nice balance across the strings.

Watch out if you have chronic acid hands though as if you are playing 2-3 hour gigs in the summer they will be dead after one or two shows. Fast fret will get you a third show with good tone (though less brilliant) then it's time to restring.

The Quality you Expect from a Bestseller
Schengis 28.06.2019
Just as it says on the packaging, these string are warm, bright, and balanced. I got them to replace the stock strings on my mandolin and was surprised how much of a difference they seem to make in the overall tone quality of the instrument.

I think regardless of playing style these strings would be a good choice and it's the obvious choice of many other mando-players out there.

Great strings for any level player and a reasonable price. No complaints here.

Daddario strings, just brilliant.
These are not the cheapest strings out there but as is often the case you get what you pay for, they might beg twice they price but then they are twice the strings.
They sound great and they sound great for longer than the competition.
I find these do not change colour and feel dirty like so many cheaper strings, they stay bright for a long time and I have yet to break a single string.
I also find that they don't take a lot of stretching in when new, it's pretty much tune up and go.
I use these on a The Loar LM300, (also from Thomann though sadly now discontinued), the little Loar really sings with these, it's bright but very melodic, these strings really do make a vast contribution to the sound.

i love these strings really easy to play on a guitar with a nice action, they provide a really warm tone and will last a lot longer than other cheaper strings, never had any tuning problems either.

Quality Product
Anonymous 23.12.2015
Quality product as always!
Daddario EJ74 are great strings. Lovely sound. Would expect nothing less from this brand. For me, there are my go to brand when it comes to strings, for all of my stringed instruments.
I have only begun to play the Mandolin and did not realise how high the tense is for this instrument and had snapped 2 strings just trying to tune it for the very first times, but had no problems when I switched to a higher quality of strings (Daddario EJ74)
Thomann never disappoint, Thanks :)
