“As a classical mandolin player, I seek a clean, resonant sound with long sustain to shape lyrical, expressive phrasing. Given the naturally quick decay of plucked string instruments, I need strings that allow for legato playing and seamless musical lines. Additionally, I require a wide range of dynamic and tonal responsiveness—whether through plectrum articulation or subtle shifts in plucking position on the length of the strings.

For me, Thomastik-Infeld PRÄZISION^® mandolin strings are the only set that fully meets these demands. Their flat-wound design ensures a pure, noise-free tone, minimizing unwanted fret and plectrum sounds. The wound A string, a rarity among mandolin string sets, adds a remarkable depth to one of the instrument’s most defining registers. These qualities make them indispensable for achieving the nuanced, refined sound I strive for.”
