This review is from: D'Addario EJ70 Phosphor Bronze Mandolin Strings, Ball End, Medium/Light, 11-38 (Electronics)

Apparently the Mandolin I borrowed does not used the "Ball End" strings, it uses just the looped end. Didn't know that when I got these, figuring that Mandolin strings are Mandolin strings. I had to smash the plastic balls to get to the loop around it. But then it worked fine. Wouldn't buy again in the future, but only because they were the wrong strings. Would get the same brand though, just different ends.
