 January 21, 2008 | A new Twist
Happy to report the new JM11 mandolin strings have a new backing twist to prevent the intermittent unravel failures recently experienced by some of our JM customers. (See previous release.) We met up with Richard Coco, Jr at Labella at last week's winter NAMM show. He weighed in, "The mandolin has some of the highest tension of all the fretted instruments. Even guitar isn't as high which the initial winding was meant to accommodate."
The solution? The new batch has a new reverse wind to lend lock and stability to the loop at this tension. We just got our fresh supply and hope to see no more problems. If you have an older set, and you're E unravels when you put it on, let us know!
