## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long is the longest string?**
A: I don't know in inches, but I have a 16" mandola, and it would fit a 17" with no problem.

**Q: Is one kind of string better than another specifically for an old mandolin?  I have a Regal from the 1920s that was my grandfather's.**
A: First, let's consider your Mandolin is in good working condition. Use a good quality string, which D'Addario is. The tone and playability will vary depending on the metal composition and string winding style. I personally prefer these Phosphor Bronze strings for their bright tone and their flat winding for being gentle on my fingertips. Hope this helps you. Happy playing.

**Q: What's the difference between the J72's and the EJ 72's? The description and string guages are identical.**
A: Different packaging is apparently the only difference...Google took me to a Mandolin Cafe message board!

**Q: How well do these work on a mandolin?  i have a ten string bandolim (cgdae), it is much easier to find single e strings than single c strings.**
A: Mandolins are typically about a 14" scale, like a violin. These are mandola strings, which is a 16" scale, like a viola. It depends on the scale length of your instrument, otherwise you'd have a lot of extra string and it could be a very sloppy with a lot of extra string length. I guess you could cut them. Are there no 10 string sets made for your instrument?
