D'Addario String Comparison /// David Benedict Mandolin

Mandolin Mondays #159: This week on Mandolin Mondays we have a very special video sponsored by D'Addario Strings. Listen to an in depth comparison of 3 different D'Addario mandolin string styles played back to back to back on my Apitius Vanguard F5 mandolin.
For this video, I used medium gauge sets (.011, .015, .026, .040) of Phosphor Bronze, Nickel Bronze, and Monel strings. Check out the links below for more details.

This was a fun, enlightening experience, and I'm excited to continue experimenting with these strings in the future. I hope that you'll try these out on your instruments too. Would love to hear your thoughts on these different strings. Feel free to comment below with any questions or discussion.
Also, all of the musical examples in this video are experts of original tunes of mine from my recent record The Golden Angle. I'd be honored if you'd check it out here: www.davidbened...

ABOUT ME:
My name is David, and I play the mandolin. I play in multiple award-winning bluegrass bands across the world including Mile Twelve, Cup O’Joe, and The Foreign Landers, and I curate the weekly mandolin video series #mandolinmondays hosted by the Mandolin Cafe. But most of all, I love sharing my love of the mandolin with others. I teach private mandolin Zoom lessons, run an online mandolin learning community on Patreon, and I also make videos to share my thoughts, ideas, and general mandolin enthusiasm with other mando aficionados.
