Thread Name: Mandolin strings-HELP!
Subject: RE: Mandolin strings-HELP!
You can try PYRAMID brand ( I think this is a german brand of strings) which has the "fuzzy" stuff near the loop end. The coloured soft stuff is intended also to prevent scratching your wrist when you play the mandolin standing up, since to hold a bowl-back mando without letting it slip requires some pressure...
