A set of mandolin strings designed for an "authentic" sound
Born over 60 years ago, ARGENTINE mandolin strings have stood the test of time without losing their identity. Appreciated by great musicians, they are notably chosen by professional players in Naples, where the mandolin is a tradition, as well as in other countries. Their goal: to help demanding mandolinists regain an original, lively, and authentic sound, with clear projection and articulation that highlights alternate picking, tremolos, and dynamics.
