GHS LS250 Silk & Steel Mandolin Strings, Loop End Regular Gauge 11-40

I had an opportunity to try out "Wegan" picks several years ago when they first came out, but the pick I tried was much heavier than my preferred thickness, so I ended up giving it away. This thickness is just right for me & I can now, after giving it a full work out on mandolin & guitar, I can give them an "excellent" rating. Glides off the strings with ease & let's the instrument show it's true colors of "warm & cozy mids" mixed with "punchy & sparkilng highs". You will find a subtle difference between the black vs white version, but both produce a great, balanced tone from your favorite mandolin or guitar.

As for the "Martin Flex core Phosphor Bronze", these are my "go to" string for my vintage guitars. They bring out the full spectrum of tone & character in a vintage Martin without the added stress of full tension strings.

As for the "GHS Silk & Steel Mandolin Strings"..............I haven't tried them recently, but I have no doubts in the quality of GHS strings. It's all I ever use on banjo, so I expect them to perform as GHS always does. "AHEAD OF THE PACK"

i put it on a 100 yr old bowl back mandolin , works perfect and sounds great

I first heard about these strings from luthier, Jerry Rosa of Rosa String Works. I play a TKD Hawk, F style mandolin and I love the tone of the silk and steel strings. I play an out an hour daily and change strings every 3 months.

I use these on a 1923 Gibson, with monel or bronze strings the basses overwhelm the trebles, with these it's completely balanced and even yet clear to my ears. I have used them for years even on F style mandolins. I hope GHS continues to make them...

New Mandolin player... had quite a bit of experience with silk steel strings on classical guitars... Looked at several Mandolin forums in string recommendations.Few retailers stock the silk and steel. Past weekend restrung Mandolin played few hours and then retuned cased up two days later checked tuning within few cents .. Slight improvement on fingering Good tone /sound ... Good price for strings and best shipping costs for strings that are I feel are more custom strings.
