I hear a lot of people tout the sound of brass strings but these steel strings sound brighter and last longer than brass. Big thumbs up to D'Addario for keeping steel in the lineup.

1.0 out of 5 stars It is the worst mandolin strings, June 28, 2011

These strings have no end metal pieces to hook on the mandolin
I must use the round little pieces of metal from old strings for the new set. It took me 2 hours to put them in
How horrible is it, you can not imagine how angry I am. They just save a couple of pennies to waste hours of the customers.
At the end I broke one E string too.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT and remember donot buy anything made in CHINA either
