Description
La Bella’s Mandolin Series reflects a long tradition of crafting dependable strings for expressive fretted instruments. The 880H set is designed for players who prefer heavy tension on an eight-string mandolin, with loop ends for straightforward installation. Phosphor bronze-wound strings provide a warm, focused voice with articulate projection, while plain steel strings support clear definition across the paired courses.
Built for demanding playing, this full set suits bluegrass picking, traditional mandolin repertoire, studio sessions, and regular ensemble performance. Heavy tension can offer a firm, responsive feel under the pick and a strong fundamental that holds its place among guitars, banjos, and other acoustic instruments. Made in the USA with American wire, the set is protected in MAP packaging to help prevent tarnish before installation.
