Does anyone know why there are now two sets of Irish bouzouki strings by D'Addario - J81 and EJ81, with new improved graphic design? Is that the only difference?
TIA, Mike.

I believe the one pictured on the left is now discontinued, but some places still have some left in stock.
Don't know if any upgrade to the strings happened other than the package design, though.
Mandolins: The Loar LM-220; Lyon & Healy Special A #103; Epiphone Mandobird VIII
Violins: 19th century German Steiner copy; NS Design WAV 4; NS Design WAV 5; Reiter Alien II 7-string

Current Cafe blog post on the subject. This discusses the well-known J-74 mandolin strings, now EJ-74 but apparently no changes other than the label. Looking at D'Addario's on-line info I see the "E" prefix added to most of their strings...

I thought it was down to the "E"co friendly packaging; being a sceptic, a sealed plastic bag is cheaper than 4 paper packets!

Thanks all - pretty much what I figured, but nice to know for certain.
