A "medium" set for increased projection and control
The D'Addario EJ80 set is aimed at octave mandolin players seeking an effective compromise between playing comfort and sonic presence. Thanks to a construction combining plain steel for the unwound strings and phosphor bronze for the wound strings, you get precise attack on the high notes and fuller, more musical lows. Ideal for pick playing, rhythmic accompaniment, or melodic lines that need to remain clear within an ensemble, this medium 12-46 gauge promotes good projection while maintaining a controlled feel under the fingers.
