Features
Ball end compatibility
Designed specifically for mandolins with tailpieces that accept ball ends, EJ70 strings seat securely and make restringing straightforward. The solid ball ensures a consistent anchor point, promoting stable tuning and reliable performance on instruments that are not suited to traditional loop end sets.
Phosphor bronze tone
The phosphor bronze winding delivers a warm, articulate voice with shimmering highs and a supportive low end. This widely trusted alloy responds well to both plectrum attack and delicate tremolo, offering musical sustain and definition that help your mandolin project naturally in acoustic settings.
Light gauge playability
With an 11-38 light gauge, this set reduces left hand fatigue and encourages clean fretting, slides and double stops. The balanced tension supports accurate intonation while remaining comfortable for extended sessions, making it a smart choice for developing players and seasoned musicians alike.
Durable, consistent build
Precision winding over a resilient steel core provides dependable tuning stability and longevity. Compared with basic student sets, EJ70 offers improved corrosion resistance, a smoother feel across the courses and consistent performance from pack to pack, so you can focus on playing rather than constant string changes.
