## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is the longest string?**
A: I don't know in inches, but I have a 16" mandola, and it would fit a 17" with no problem.

**Q: Is one kind of string better than another specifically for an old mandolin?  I have a Regal from the 1920s that was my grandfather's.**
A: First, let's consider your Mandolin is in good working condition. Use a good quality string, which D'Addario is. The tone and playability will vary depending on the metal composition and string winding style. I personally prefer these Phosphor Bronze strings for their bright tone and their flat winding for being gentle on my fingertips. Hope this helps you. Happy playing.

**Q: What's the difference between the J72's and the EJ 72's? The description and string guages are identical.**
A: Different packaging is apparently the only difference...Google took me to a Mandolin Cafe message board!

**Q: How well do these work on a mandolin?  i have a ten string bandolim (cgdae), it is much easier to find single e strings than single c strings.**
A: Mandolins are typically about a 14" scale, like a violin. These are mandola strings, which is a 16" scale, like a viola. It depends on the scale length of your instrument, otherwise you'd have a lot of extra string and it could be a very sloppy with a lot of extra string length. I guess you could cut them. Are there no 10 string sets made for your instrument?

    Excellente cordes
  
  

*by B***I on Reviewed in France on 25 January 2016*

ça faisait un moment que je cherchait LE jeu de cordes sur lequel je me sente vraiment bien, qui ait à la fois un bon toucher et un bon son sec, et riche mais sans être trop brillant et je les ait enfin trouvée.les flat tops permettent de faire des slide sans s'arracher les doigts, elles ont une bonne présence et permettent de belles harmonies dans les ballade tout en gardant le coté sec et percussif qu'on attend d'une mandoline.a signaler que les cordes de La sont filé, comme celles de Sol et Ré, es-ce que ça améliore la durée de vie ou es-ce que ça a l'effet inverse ? réponse dans quelques semaines/mois.en tout cas je n’achèterais plus que ces cordes
