Used as default strings for a Harley Benton Mandolin
I used these strings to replace the factory strings that came with the Harley Benton Mandolin.These strings have the loop ends so in theory should be a little easier to catch on the hooks of the tailpiece end. Compared to the factory strings it was like night and day. Firstly the colour of these strings was so much brighter, nice and bronze, as opposed to dull and grey of the factory. The sound of these was also so much more pleasing. It was definitely a vast improvement, and well worth the money. I would suggest that if you do purchase a HB Mandolin in particular get a couple sets of these strings at the same time. One set to immediately replace factory strings, and one set as a back up..

Mandoline light long lasting strings
These strings are great for the price. The sound is clear and bright and stays like that for a long time. I find you need to stretch them a little when you first put them on but they hold tuning well, which is very important with mandolin tuning. These were used on a few albums and they have lasted well, regardless of price

Martin Mandolin strings
As a first time Mandolin player I decided to go with a household name for a change of strings on my Harley Benton mandolin. The stock strings were very good and brought out the very good tone of the mandolin, however once I changed them for the Martin strings the sound is now absolutely stunning. I decided to go for this manufacturer as I have used Martin strings on my guitars before and have never been let down, so a bit of the devil you know theory used here.

do their job.
I don't play mandoline that often, so i just searched for some strings, which bring some life back to that beautiful instrument.
I like the sound of the strings and they work fine for month for me.
For beginners definietly recommended

Cheap and sound good
Clear and crisp sound. Sounds good for the traditional folk chops, good for celtic music as the sound is almost "sparkling" clear, yet provides a decent midrange (come on, we're talking about mandolin, there really is no bass in the sound anyway). Are there better stings available? Totally. For this price though? Nope as far as I know.

Mandoline strings
Well made with nice tight twists at the loops. Sound quality does not seem to last the same as years ago, but a great product at a great price.

zingy mandolinny
I bought these to pair with a recently purchased Harly-B HBMA-100 VS f-style mandolin ( a wonderful instrument, especially given its price)
what can I say.. great quality strings,.. as you might expect from Martin... bright, resonant, vibrant and true...clear and sweet... also excellent value.. will definitely purchase more in the future.
