Bouzouki/octave mandolin strings
(electric)
Need some strings for your 8-string electric
octave mandolin or bouzouki? You've come to the right place. (If you
want 5-string or
8-string standard mandolin sets,
or mandocello sets, I also have
those.) If you have a magnetic pickup, you need nickel steel
strings like these; they'll provide a stronger signal than
bronze acoustic strings. Octave mandolin sets are for GDAE, GDAD, or ADAD tuning;
the bouzouki set is for Greek CFAD tuning with octave pairs
on the lower courses. Here are the details:

Strings up to .016" are plain steel; heavier strings
are roundwound with nickel steel. Sets are available
with either loop-end or ball-end strings. You will
automatically get ball-end strings unless you specify
loop-end.

If you want to calculate the string tension you'll get when
you put these strings on your mandolin, use this handy calculation tool. Along with your payment,
please include your name, address (P.O. boxes OK), and
e-mail address, and specify loop-end or ball-end.
