About the JazzMando JM10B Set:
We've had incredible success with the Thomastik Ball-end Thomastik TI strings with discriminating electric mandolinists. Yet, if there were any consistent criticism of the TI's it remains price, and with the recent plummetting value of the Dollar vs. the Euro, this doesn't promise to get any better soon. JazzMando has had the opportunity to work with Labella Strings to develop a ball-end version of the widely popular JM-11 loop end strings. Strung low and light, these flatwound steel strings are just what the doctor ordered for the player who plays in closed position more than open strings, as in Jazz, Swing, Rock and Blues music.
Like the JM11 Flatwound Mandolin sets, these give you maximum tone in the treble but facility and harmonic fundamental in the bass range with the slightly stouter 35 gauge G string. In the interest of tone and flexibility, the E course is a .010 for effective soloing. We've opted for the standard plain .014 A and 024 wound D. Chromatic music styles demand good closed finger control, and this combination should help the player avoid fatigue without sacrificing tone.
The polished Flatwound have a much closer, tighter wrap which resists corrosion and wear from oxidation and player perspiration. The steel alloys lends a crisp "punch" for a "bell-like" attack and articulation acoustically and magnetic drive with an electric pickup. Player comfort from the smooth strings makes these feel as great as they sound! Though designed for Jazz, these will also work well for the progressive Rock and Blues musician.
What else makes JazzMando Strings special: You already knew strings will wear from playing. Skin oils, picking, and longterm vibration cause the string to decay and lose tone over time. What you may not be aware is oxidation in the package has the same residual effect! Other brands of strings hanging on a store shelf can be purchased new, but suffer the hidden effects of months, if not years of deteriorating right in the package. Labella's proprietary four-step process, including "Tarnish Proof Technology" means your strings are delivered factory-sealed, freshness second to none. JazzMando order procedure takes this a step farther, ordering in smaller case quantities to assure maximum string vitality.
(Not recommended for Ovation mandolins)
