Product Detail
The EXP75 is D'Addario's heaviest gauge coated mandolin string set. It was developed in collaboration with Ronnie McCoury, whose high - energy, percussive playing demands higher tension for maximum volume. With loopend construction, it fits all mandolins. Trusted by music legends like David Grisman and Ricky Skaggs, these strings offer a natural acoustic tone and reliable performance. Made from top - quality plain steel, stainless steel, nickel - plated steel, and phosphor bronze, they come in various gauges. This coated set is perfect for hard - driving, percussive styles. Phosphor bronze ensures a long - lasting, warm, and bright tone. Made in the USA for top - notch quality. String gauges are Plain Steel .0115/.011.5, 016/.016, Phosphor Bronze Wound .026/.026, .041/.041. The strings come in eco - friendly, corrosion - resistant packaging to keep them fresh.
Using these D'Addario EXP75 mandolin strings is straightforward. First, make sure your mandolin is in a stable position. Loosen the old strings one by one and remove them. Then, take the new string and thread it through the loopend into the tuning peg hole. Wind the string around the peg and start tuning. As you play, you'll notice the warm and bright tone right away. For best results, tune your mandolin regularly, especially when you first start using the strings. When it comes to maintenance, wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. This will help keep the coating intact and extend the life of the strings. Store the mandolin in a dry place to prevent corrosion. If you're not using the strings for a long time, keep them in their original eco - friendly, corrosion - resistant packaging.
