Just okay

Replacing Mangan monels with these, the difference is noticeable. These are definitely a higher tension set, and the windings are thicker, with more finger drag and string noise when sliding.
I recommend them for the budget option in the mandolin monel category.
*Next time I'll be using and reviewing the D'Addario version.

ProsNo residue, no corrosion, good sound.
ConsHigh tension, course windings contribute to increased finger noise and drag. Not the slick, smooth response of the Mangan monel with tighter wrap winding and lower tension load.
