Elixir strings are one of the most top selling strings on the market today, and for good reason. They come with Nanoweb and Polyweb coatings in a wide variety of string types and gauges to match any player's preference. The coating offers a balanced tone with a smooth responsive feel which reduces finger squeak, while lasting 3-5 times longer than ordinary strings due to the coating providing protection from sweat and grime. This means you buy fewer sets of strings, and change them less often, saving your hard earned cash. These Nanoweb-coated 80/20 Bronze Elixir Mandolin Strings deliver the bright, lively tone and feel of traditional 80/20 bronze strings, with a much longer lifespan.
