(More customer reviews)The J74's are sort of the default string that mandolin dealers put on their instruments. They are bright and brassy when new, and give a decent punch to the sound. However because they are bronze, they can discolor your fingers and they tarnish pretty quickly, especially in the summer when your fingers are sweatier. Also, since they are round-wound, they are harder to fret than a flat-wound string and harder to shift up and down. But the people who like them change them often, like once in 30 days or so, or whenever they play a gig, to get that nice bright brassy punch for when they are new. This is because they get to a point where you have to work harder just to get the same volume, being less elastic, and less lively. One thing is sure, that the J74's are loud and zingy, and that's why dealers put them on their mandolins. Some folks move to the heavier J75's to get even louder and fatter woof on their chops. The J74's are brighter and more aggressive than flatwound strings and cut through when you're in ensemble work. Just make sure to change them often to get the best performance.
