Mandolin Strings

Mandolin strings come in sets of eight, with two of each gauge that are strung in pairs. The strings provide the vibration for the instrument which transfers through the bridge, and causes the top of the mandolin to vibrate and produce a tine. Mandolin strings typically have loop ends to attach to the tailpiece. Usually, the first two pair of strings are plain, with the lower two being wound. Mandolin sets come in various materials and gauges to suit any players taste.
