I have a Regal from the 1920s that was my grandfather's.** A: First, let's consider your Mandolin is in good working condition. Use a good quality string, which D'Addario is. The tone and playability will vary depending on the metal composition and string winding style. I personally prefer these Phosphor Bronze strings for their bright tone and their flat winding for being gentle on my fingertips. Hope this helps you. Happy playing. **Q: What's the difference between the J72's and the EJ 72's? The description and string guages are identical.** A: Different packaging is apparently the only difference...Google took me to a Mandolin Cafe message board! **Q: How well do these work on a mandolin? i have a ten string bandolim (cgdae), it is much easier to find single e strings than single c strings.** A: Mandolins are typically about a 14" scale, like a violin. These are mandola strings, which is a 16" scale, like a viola. It depends on the scale length of your instrument, otherwise you'd have a lot of extra string and it could be a very sloppy with a lot of extra string length. I guess you could cut them. Are there no 10 string sets made for your instrument? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are very good! *by M***D on 8 January 2016* I have not used flatwound strings on my mandolin before and so far \I am impressed. They have a good bright tone and feel nice to play, so will likely order these again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Splendid! *by C***E on 13 September 2016* Who would have thought that bits of wire could change my life? They are the first set of round flatwounds that I have bought so I cannot compare them to others but I think these are quite splendid. ### ⭐⭐ Not what I expected *by M***H on 17 March 2026* A word of caution, only the G and D strungs are flat wound. The A string isn't wound at all , which I mistakenly expected. Also the loop on one A string snapped before I had even wound any tension on the string. I normally love D'addario strings and thought these may be good for a try. I won't be pursuing that line of thought. Back to my normal round wound from now on. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario EFW74 11-36 Medium Flatwound Mandolin Strings - Phosphor Bronze - D'Addario Mandolin Strings, Phosphor Bronze, EJ73, Light Gauge 10-38, 8-String Set, Pack of 1 - D'Addario Banjo Strings, Nickel-Plated Steel, EJ61, Medium Gauge 10-23, 5-String Set, Pack of 1 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/82765312-efw74-11-36-medium-flatwound-mandolin-strings-phosphor-bronze](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/82765312-efw74-11-36-medium-flatwound-mandolin-strings-phosphor-bronze) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
