Mandolin strings

I have to start by saying that I am a total beginner with mandolin. I bought these strings to replace some half a century old ones. Compared to that the improvement of tone was incredible. However, I have no grounds to compare the quality to some other more expensive brands.

Great

I have three mandolins, and I use these strings on all of them. They sound good acoustically and sound great when I play live with a pickup. The packaging is great. each string is numbered boldly on the individual string packing, which is great if you break a string live on a dark stage. The strings are sealed so they remain rust and tarnish free

Bright sounding strings.

Being new to the mandolin, I can only compare these strings with the ones that came with my instruments and the ones on friends mandolins. They compare well with both of those. They are bright and clean sounding and hold their tuning really well. For a value string at this price, that is pretty impressive.

I play an f-hole semiacoustic mandolin, playing a variety of bluegrass/folk/punk sort of stuff and so these strings don't have the easiest of times. I also bought several sets in one go, in case of breakages, but after replacing the original strings on my instrument, I am still on my first set of these strings.

I had thought that I may eventually change to a more expensive string, but at the moment, I don't see why. These strings are doing the job.
