GHS Mandolin Classical Extra Light Gauge, .009 - .032, for Potato Bug and other fragile instruments, A240star rating 5Big KeithMarch 12, 2010The PB strings have now been fitted to my Mando and gave a warmer tone After trying lots of different weights and makes of strings this proved to be the ideal combination. It made the tone more jazz/celtic as opposed to bluegrass, The action is now perfect,(less buzzing too) The faster rebound on these strings made playing faster and more accurate. Now fitted, previously suspected I wouldn't even need or want to try others. The Mando has now become playable for my Son and Wife, whereas the stadard strings were stronger but made the thing virtually unplayable. Tone has considerably improved If your outside USA non tarnished ones are hard to find, and postage is prohibitive. I sent mine to a US friend, who then sent them on, and it worked out less than half the cost on postage.
