D'Addario J6202 Mandoline Strings

Plain Steel Mandolin Replacement String

The D'Addario J6202 is a plain steel single string designed for mandolin, specifically sized at .014" gauge to fit the 2nd string position on a standard mandolin course set. As part of D'Addario's loop end singles collection, this string serves as a direct replacement when an original string breaks or wears out, or as a component for building a customized mandolin string set. The plain steel construction delivers the bright, articulate tone that mandolin players rely on for cutting through ensemble arrangements.

Manufactured at D'Addario's New York production facility, the J6202 reflects the company's commitment to quality control and consistency. The loop end design ensures secure anchoring at the mandolin's tailpiece, while the round wound construction provides a consistent playing feel across the string's length.

Who It's For

This plain steel mandolin single is the right choice for players who need a reliable replacement for the 2nd string position. Bluegrass, folk, and classical mandolinists will appreciate the bright, clear tone that plain steel delivers, which helps the instrument cut through in ensemble settings. The single-string format is also ideal for players who want to build a custom gauge set by mixing and matching individual strings from D'Addario's loop end singles collection.

Whether replacing a broken string mid-performance or experimenting with different gauge combinations, this string offers the quality and consistency that D'Addario is known for. The .014" gauge is the standard size for the 2nd string on most mandolin courses, making it a versatile choice for players across genres.
