Re: D'Addario Flatwound Guitar Strings
They are very appropriate for other string instruments. The EFW74 flatwound mandolin strings were essentially borne out of the D’Addario Chromes line. They were just shortened and combined in a set of gauges that was appropriate for mandolin. Other than that they are exactly the same. I have, a couple of times, bought a pair of Chrome singles in .038 to replace the G string. However I stopped doing that as it didn’t make much difference. I have also bought Chrome sets to use on my octave.
