However, these work well with transducer pick-ups on acoustic instruments. Peter Mallinson (Almuse pickups) should have definitive advice... **Q: I have recently bought a Vangoa electro accoustic mandolin. I would like to change the strings to a better quality can someone recommend a set ?** A: guess it will depend on your playing style and what kind of strings your mandolin takes ball end or loop. but as a rule you can't go wrong with D'Addario strings im a blue grass player and i like a heaver string 40 to 10 but as said its a matter of choice and you might want to try differ thicknesses of strings over time to find what suits you and your mandolin. sorry cant be of more help. Paul **Q: Description says loop end. Picture shows ball end. Which is it??** A: I no longer use these strings but I just had a look at an unopened set that I happen to still have. It clearly states on the upper left of the front of the packet, medium loop end. I have no idea whether it's possible to get them with a ball end. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Strings *by A***S on 1 October 2025* Excellent quality strings.
