    Default Elisa Meyer Ferreira bandolim strings recommendation

    Hi,
    I just listened to the most recent Mandolins & Beer podcast featuring the wonderful Elisa Ferreira from Choro das 3. She recommended a brand of strings but I can’t find them.

    Phonetically the name of the brand of strings would be something like ‘ Ho_shi_no’ which I’ve been puzzling as; replace the ‘ho’ with ‘ro’; shi with ch or x… So, something like Roxhino…any thoughts or help?
    All the best,
    Blake

    My apologies I have found the answer to my own question in the forum archive. The strings I’m looking for are ROUXINOL.

    Hello, Blake! He’s right! The strings I use are called Rouxinol! They are very inexpensive here in Brazil.

    Good to know - they're also inexpensive in Portugal.

    I bought 1/2 dozen sets from this online store in Lisbon, Portugal and delivery was very fast. Looks like the price has gone up, but so has everything.

    It's not easy for me where I live (Australia) to source Rouxinol's. The closest substitute in a set that I have found and I think sound good and can get easily at a reasonable price are Ernie Ball Medium Loop End Stainless Steel Mandolin Strings - 10, 14, 24, 36.

    Rouxinol R-40's are also steel and 10, 14, 22, 35.

    HTH!
