Elixir Mandolin Medium NanoWeb Acoustic .011 - .040, 11525Astar rating 5BrettDecember 6, 2009I have tried many many different mandolin strings over the years and I always come back to the Elixirs. The Nanoweb coating makes slides so easy and they have a really great tone. They do sound a little bright when first installed but that goes away after a day or two. They last a really long time and sound great the whole time, definitely my favorite mandolin strings.
