Electric mandola strings
Need some strings for your 8-string electric mandola? You've come to the right place. You can order
nickel steel (for magnetic pickups), phosphor bronze (for piezo pickups) or flatwound (for either).
Don't see the gauges you want? Order a custom set.
(If you want 5-string or 8-string standard mandolin sets,
or mandocello or octave mandolin sets, I sell those, too.)
These strings are for CGDA tuning. Here are the details:

If you want to calculate the string tension you'll get when you put these strings on your mandolin, use this handy calculation tool. I'm not the only one to offer 8-string sets, although I may be the only one selling them in ball-end. They're somewhat easier to find than they used to be, but still not what you'd call commonplace. Here are some photos of string packages from manufacturers past and present. See the FAQ for further advice on which strings to purchase for your e-mando.
