Monel Mandolin Custom Medium Loop-End
11.5-11.5-16-16-26-26-40-40
Monel (aka Nickel Bronze) has built in natural resistance to tarnish and corrosion yet it feels great to the touch and has its own unique tonal color. Monel is 67% pure nickel, 30% copper and about 3% of special sauce that makes it Monel. For lack of a better term, it sounds earthy. Great for blues and bluegrass. Monel is naturally resistant to salt water (sweat) yet feels real good.

My new favorite strings
These probably aren't for everybody because they have a very specific sound, but if you like a a warm, dark tone to your mando this THE STUFF. Especially if you're going for a kind of Sam Bush-ish vibe. They're loud, aggressive and just yummy. Plus they seem to last about 90-100 hours of play on average which is about as long as mando strings can last in my experience. I'm still gonna keep some Stringjoy Foxwoods and EJ74s in my case for variety, but these are my new "normal" strings. Strongly recommend.
