Review: Teen Daughter approved - These are great strings. Not a ton of ball end choices that I've seen so we've settled on these and are very satisfied. My daughter has an Ovation that requires the ball end. She practices daily and does a 2-3 hour set with her band about once per month. The last pair was still pretty strong after 6 months, but I insisted she change. She was hesitant, but once I got them on she saw the additional brightness you get with new strings. That is to say, these strings will have good sound for much longer than you will likely elect to keep them. Thumbs up. Review: Nice and Playable - I have these on a 2010 Collings MT2 Mandola that I got recently. That was what was on the instrument when I got it, so I replaced them with the same brand and gauge. It has an amazing sound with these strings, but I would think that a less responsive instrument may need mediums. ## Features - For use on all mandolins requiring ball end, rather than loop end strings - Light-medium gauge - Environmentally friendly, corrosion resistant packaging for strings that are always fresh - Made in the U.S.A. for the highest quality and performance - String gauges: Plain Steel .011/.011, .015,.015, Phosphor Bronze Wound .024/.024, .038/.038 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0006IQNFC | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,584 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #5 in Mandolin Accessories | | Body Material Type | Phosphor Bronze | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | Uncoated | | Color | Bronze | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 479 Reviews | | Finish Type | Uncoated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954944568 | | Included Components | Mandolin Strings (8 pieces) | | Instrument | Mandolin | | Item Type Name | Guitar String | | Item Weight | 1.12 ounces | | Manufacturer | D'Addario | | Manufacturer Part Number | EJ70 | | Material Type | Phosphor Bronze | | Model Name | EJ70 | | Model Number | EJ70 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Mandolin | | Set Name | EJ70 | | String Gauge | Light | | String Material Type | Phosphor Bronze | | UPC | 019954944568 | | Unit Count | 8.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Replaced if defective. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Coating Description:** Uncoated - **Instrument:** Mandolin - **String Gauge:** Light - **String Material Type:** Phosphor Bronze ## Images ![D'Addario EJ70 Phosphor Bronze Mandolin Strings, Ball End, Medium/Light, 11-38 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ggjmH0RSL.jpg) ![D'Addario EJ70 Phosphor Bronze Mandolin Strings, Ball End, Medium/Light, 11-38 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vwJCIFupL.jpg) ![D'Addario EJ70 Phosphor Bronze Mandolin Strings, Ball End, Medium/Light, 11-38 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81v451D2pJL.jpg) ![D'Addario EJ70 Phosphor Bronze Mandolin Strings, Ball End, Medium/Light, 11-38 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/813UeYjXvgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Teen Daughter approved *by C***R on October 29, 2020* These are great strings.

That was what was on the instrument when I got it, so I replaced them with the same brand and gauge. It has an amazing sound with these strings, but I would think that a less responsive instrument may need mediums. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ D'Addario goes above and beyond *by D***E on August 3, 2015* I had a slight issue with these (missing a string), and contacted D'Addario. They were extremely helpful, and alleviated the problem. They in fact went above an beyond, and the strings are simply amazing, even on a short scale tenor banjo. So, one can only imagine what they would sound like on a mandola. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario EJ70 Phosphor Bronze Mandolin Strings, Ball End, Medium/Light, 11-38 - D'Addario Mandolin Strings, Phosphor Bronze, EJ74, Medium Gauge 11-40, 8-String Set, Pack of 1 - Dunlop Primetone Semi-Round 1.3mm Sculpted Plectra (Grip) - 3 Pack Guitar Picks (514P1.30) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/1187648-daddario-ej70-phosphor-bronze-mandolin-strings-ball-end-medium-light](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/1187648-daddario-ej70-phosphor-bronze-mandolin-strings-ball-end-medium-light) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
