If you own an Eastman or Ovation mandocello, or another mandocello that takes ball-end strings, you'll realize at some point that the standard loop-end string sets aren't of much use to you.

All strings, including the A's, are wound in phosphor bronze. Suitable for acoustic or acoustic/electric mandocellos, the gauges are a little lighter than the D'Addario or La Bella sets, but a little heavier than the set that comes standard on an Eastman. (If you were looking for electric mandolin strings, I sell those too.) Here are the details:
