Re: favorite strings for mandola?
Collings puts J-76 on their mandolas at time of build. I switched mine to the J-72. Seems a little easier to fret, but the sound is about the same. Great mandola. I love mine. I also tried the Jazzdola strings on my old mandola and they sound fine too. It boils down to what sounds the best to you and allows for the easiest fretting.
