D'Addario EXP74 Coated Phosphor Bronze Medium Mandolin StringsGauges: .011-.015-.026-.040An ultra-fine layer of EXP Coating is bonded to the phosphor bronze wrap wire which is then wound onto the hex-shaped core wire. The result is a built-in barrier against the corrosion and wear that can quickly sap the life out of your strings and your sound. EXP coated phosphor bronze mandolin strings have a natural round wound feel and sound fresh and bright with a "new string tone" that lasts three to four times longer than traditional guitar strings.

I alternate between these and the elixir polyweb medium. To my ears there is not a lot of difference. These strings last a long time (~6 months of fairly regular playing/recording) and have a nice full tone. They are not particularly "biting" - which for me is good. On my Eastman mando they sometimes rattle a bit when new, take a whiles to play them in and then they settle down. I have no complaints.
