Ernie Ball Medium Earthwood 80/20 Bronze Loop End Mandolin Strings - (10-36)

Ernie Ball's Medium Earthwood mandolin strings combine 80/20 bronze wrap wire with a loop–end construction designed specifically for mandolins requiring non–ball termination. The 80/20 bronze alloy, 80% copper, 20% zinc, delivers bright, balanced tone with crisp harmonic overtones that suit both strummed chords and single–note melodic work. Medium gauge sets provide string tension that supports clear intonation and responsive attack without excessive finger fatigue.

The set includes four pairs of strings gauged 10–10, 14–14, 24–24, and 36–36, delivering the tension and tonal character favoured for traditional mandolin tuning in GDAE. Loop ends eliminate the ball mechanism, allowing installation on tailpieces and bridges designed for looped string retention. Hex–shaped steel core wire maintains accurate pitch stability across the fretboard, while the bronze winding produces warm midrange definition and articulate treble clarity that responds well to both flatpicking and tremolo techniques.
