Discuss the Mandolin lesson: How to Change Mandolin Strings, String Study & More!
You can now set up mandolins better than 50% of the setup techs in music stores across the country! Maybe more!

I use SIT strings because they sound better than D’Addario and they Stay In Tune rather magically, and over time, they tend to go flat or sharp together, still in playable tune. The lights aren’t typical, in that they have a heavier 2nd and 4th pair than usual in lights, to even up the tension across the 4 pairs. My Northfield Calhoun came with Northfield light strings, which are that way (GHS are too), so the SIT’s were the perfect replacement.
