Yep - i totally misspoke on that. I specifically went to the brand team after i posted and i knew this would pop up after talking to them. It is the Sam Bush gauge. Chris' would be ever so slightly...
Monel is approximately 65% nickel and copper whereas, our Nickel Bronze strings are a Nickel-Plated Phosphor Bronze string (Phosphor Bronze is 90% copper). Quite a different "recipe" if you will so...
Currently offering the Custom (Chris Thile) gauging. No plans for another as of yet....
LED - that's not an accurate statement - Don with D'Addario here. Much like the comment above indicated, Mapes provides raw wire to manufacturers and from that wire, strings are made. We've used...
A quick update - after speaking with our Amazon team, they asked if I could inform you that they are working with Amazon and are aggressively seeking a working solution. Please make sure you ask for...
I've sent this thread over to our team that works with Amazon. I'm sure that there will more more internal discussion in this regard. Jeff - we've not heard of a US dealer selling Counterfeit product...
Don from D'Addario here - further to the question of how the strings sounded - not very good, would cover it. Some of the samples we've received started out fine much like any set of strings. Some...
It's quite possible that since we added an additional 200 testers to the list, that our Beta Team didn't email the "add-on" testers. I'll have to find out. Sorry for the confusion on this. Our beta...
They are the same as our EJ74 set but we would hope to expand the offerings .011,.015,.025, .039
Roger - be sure to check your spam folder, just in case.
Our apologies but thanks for taking the time. There is supposed to be an email message that's to go out to all who signed up. We're also conducting a Banjo Beta test that started earlier this month...
George - thanks for taking the time to sign up. If there's any consolation - i work here and couldn't get a set :(
ALL - i've been notified that all the emails have been sent out to our potential Beta Test Team. Originally, we were looking for 400 players to assist in this beta test. However, due to the delay,...
ALL - don from D'Addario here - just an update on the Beta tester strings. There were two issues that have slightly delayed notification of testers. The first was packaging. We had to do a reorder...
Don from D'Addario here - our Nickel Bronze Mandolin strings have our NY Steel Plain Steels and cores for the wound strings, which is a music wire our own wire mill developed (we're the only string...
There was a small shipping issue so we're configuring slightly. They were supposed to go out the last week of September. They are now slated to go out the first week of October. Thanks for your...
Thanks for everyone signing up. We're closing the survey up for now.
John - if we have extra sets leftover, we're going to send them to our UK and Canadian offices, which will allow us to extend this accordingly. We'll keep you posted, should that occur.
I'll share that thought with our Brand Team
There's still a chance that if we have some extra sets we'll be sending them to our UK and Canadian offices to extend the beta test results. We'll keep you posted.
Shouldn't be more than a few weeks - we hope to have the set in players hands by Mid-Sept at the latest
WE do indeed - they're called EXP16 for Phosphor Bronze or EXP11 for 80/20. Thanks for asking.

Yessir, that is correct. We hope to have some extra sets and at that...
Rob - we hope to have extra sets to send to our UK office and have a Beta version, once we complete entries for the US. So, technically, yes, this is a US-only Beta test.
Greetings - don from D'Addario here - we are in the process of refining a new set of Mandolin strings to add to our Nickel Bronze line of Acoustic Strings. We were hoping to locate 400 players to...
