D'Addario EXP Coated Mandolin Phosphor Bronze Bluegrass, .011 - .040, EXP74star rating 5Ben GibeauOctober 18, 2009These are good strings. I am into music as a hobby since I retired as a sailor so I can't give you an opinion that a professional musician would give you but to me, they are excellent strings.
D'Addario EXP Coated Mandolin Phosphor Bronze Bluegrass, .011 - .040, EXP74star rating 5Mark BrowneAugust 29, 2009These (EXP74) strings have been great for recording and live performance. Excellent tone and balance throughout the entire register. They've been extremely consistent and stay sounding great for a long time. This is is good for me since I don't enjoy changing strings on my mandolin.
