D'Addario Mandolin Phosphor Bronze Bluegrass, .011 - .040, J74star rating 5Bo CarnealJuly 14, 2011I have a Gibson F-5G and these strings are the standard for me. Excellent playability and tone for any genre you wish to play. I play every day and these strings hold their own for one week, you can get an extra 1-2 days out of them by performing a string cleaning. I perform on occasion and would not choose any other string.
D'Addario Mandolin Phosphor Bronze Bluegrass, .011 - .040, J74star rating 5Allen PaulJune 15, 2011Reliable service from Just Strings. I paid the lowest price I could ever find and that includes the shipping cost out of CONUS. The J74s are widely used by mando players everywhere. They do the job as well as, or better than any other string on the market. My overall rating is well-deserved. A

D'Addario Mandolin Phosphor Bronze Bluegrass, .011 - .040, J74star rating 5rkunkelJanuary 5, 2010I've tried many other sets, but keep coming back to these strings. I believe they are the most popular mandolin strings for good reason.
D'Addario Mandolin Phosphor Bronze Bluegrass, .011 - .040, J74star rating 5Russell MooreDecember 25, 2009I make F5 style mandolins that are all about God's one and only son, Yeshua. These are the only strings that I will use on the mandolins I make as my experience they provide the best sound and are very durable.
D'Addario Mandolin Phosphor Bronze Bluegrass, .011 - .040, J74star rating 5Matt DeBlassDecember 13, 2009There's a reason these seem to be the most popular mando strings out there. They make even a cheap mandolin like mine sound pretty decent.
D'Addario Mandolin Phosphor Bronze Bluegrass, .011 - .040, J74star rating 4John ElyNovember 2, 2009A standard for the archtop mandolin. They have a big, aggressive, punchy sound.
D'Addario Mandolin Phosphor Bronze Bluegrass, .011 - .040, J74star rating 5Doug gOctober 30, 2009I have been using these strings for close to 30 years now, possibly longer than they were making them. I broke a string recently and my spare date back to when they had dampers wound into the ball end. I don't know why anyone uses anything else. (OK I understand buying the J75s!)
