D'Addario XT Phosphor Bronze 11-40 Acoustic Mandolin Strings
- XT strings feature an advanced corrosion resistance treatment on every string in the set, preserving the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings.
- High carbon steel wire and Fusion Twist technologies deliver unrivaled tuning stability and break resistance. Strings stay in tune 131% better than traditional strings!
- The inner packaging features a re-sealable zip closure, for ease of opening as well as storage of unused strings.
D’Addario XT is for the player who wants the feel of non-coated strings but with the massively extended tone life of coated strings. XT is the combination of D’Addario’s most advanced innovations: high-carbon NY Steel hex core, fusion twist anchors, hydrophobic nano-treated wrap wire, and machine winding.
D’Addario XT wrap wire is treated before it’s wound onto the core to ensure the tactile feel of - what we regard as - ‘regular’ strings remains. And crucially, the XT treatment produces minimal tonal dampening so you get the bright, sparkly sound expected from D’Addario strings.
All D’Addario X-Series strings have the same break resistance and tuning stability as NYXL thanks to the NY Steel core. NY Steel is produced solely by D’Addario and is up to 40% stronger and 131% more stable than the next best competitor.
To complete the set, XT treble strings are made of NY Steel which is tin-plated and dispersion coated to match the wound strings.
The XT phosphor bronze sound is warm, full, and clear. The XT feel is distinctly not coated!
Notes:
- hydrophobic, nano-treated wire
- NY Steel core
- Unparalleled tuning stability
- Fusion Twist anchors
- Treated, and tinned plains
- Regular, non-coated feel
