The Martin M400 strings feature a tin-plated steel core and bronzed wrap wire that produces distinct trebles and a warm bass. Whether you’re play bluegrass, folk or country music, these strings help you achieve an articulate tone that cuts through the mix.

Balanced Tone and Longevity

The Martin M400 mandolin strings provide an even, balanced tone from the first note. They are built to enhance the natural resonance of your instrument and keep your mandolin in tune through long practice sessions or performances. The bronzed wrap wire helps extend the life of these strings while maintaining a warm, resonant sound. When it's time to change your mandolin strings, you can count on the Martin M400 set to provide consistency and reliability.

Ideal for Bluegrass and Folk Music

With gauges 10-14-24-34, the Martin M400 string set is perfect for playing folk, country and bluegrass music. The lighter gages on the higher strings provide clarity and articulation for fast single note runs and rolls. The heavier gages on the lower strings produce a punchy, driving melodic tone that provides rhythmic support.

So far so good

Wanted some light strings and this was available at my local GC. Installed a set and they are lighter and respond well with good tone. Have only had them on my mando for about a month so I don't know how they'll wear but so far so good. I like them.

Not sure about these

I had a very hard time getting the second high (E) string to go in tune and one of them broke during install. It actually didn't break, but came apart at the base where it looped. My mandolin isn't high end (Savannah) but I'd not had issues in previous changes. I used a tuner so I know it wasn't pulled overly tight. Thankfully it's not my primary instrument.

    Like that I can just swing by a GC and pick up good mandolin strings at a fair price. No worries about shipping etc.

    These strings are great for 8 strings - 80/20 with a smooth sound. I just put them after removing the old strings. Honestly, there are not a lot of choices, but when it comes to a name-brand, you can't go wrong. We get paid to play - so we are considered professionals.
