DESCRIPTION

D'Addario XS Phosphor Bronze mandolin strings come out of the company's biggest breakthrough in string innovation, and they're built around one idea: make a great-sounding phosphor bronze string last dramatically longer. An ultra-thin XS film coating gives these sets the longest life of any D'Addario mandolin string while keeping the warm, balanced phosphor bronze voice players already know — with an uncommonly smooth feel that doesn't get in the way of fast tremolo or chop chords.

Underneath the coating is serious engineering. A NY Steel core and Fusion Twist technology give XS strings incomparable break strength and tuning stability, staying in tune 131% better than standard strings. That means fewer snapped strings mid-set and less time twisting tuners between tunes.

This XSM11540 set is gauged 11.5-40 Custom Medium, which pushes more volume and resonance than a Light set while still maintaining comfortable playability — a great match for bluegrass, Celtic, folk, or anything else you throw at it. Every set ships in a recyclable, resealable VCI bag with a code you can register to earn Players Circle points, and every XS coated string is drawn to exacting specifications at D'Addario's New York production facility.
