THEE BEST STRINGS UNDER $10
August 23, 2021
Was on the d’Addario j75 train for years. Great strings, but they really started to feel anemic in mostly feel and slightly in sound on my Northfield F5M. So after trying a few other brands I became hooked on the heavy black diamond set. I go through a set once every 6- 9 days so the price is great but most importantly they still feel and sound great up to that point of needing to swap in a fresh set. Love the slightly darker tone compared with other sets on my specific mandolin...I’ve never had a missing course, never had loop windings come loose, never a a broken new string bringing it up to tension.
Pros
- Cost
- Tone
- String feel
- Minimal degradation of sound and feel (the sound/feel of a fresh set compared with a heavily played week old set is negligible).
Cons
- They could cut the string lengths down a tad, seems like I?m always throwing out close to a foot of extra string per string after installation.
