FAMOUS WAYNE's Best Mandolin Strings

Wayne was my dad, he was a musician. He bought a mandolin he never learned to play. I couldn’t stop thinking about that.

Too many instruments feel resistant. Harsh. Unforgiving. Like they’re testing the player instead of inviting them in. 

FAMOUS WAYNE'S Best Mandolin Strings are built around fast response, lighter feel, and the carved-wood voice that makes a great mandolin feel alive in your hands. 

Brutally satisfying. Deeply emotional. Strings that don’t fight back.

The wound strings are available in phosphor bronze, 80/20 bronze and nickel plated steel and are engineered for:

  • fast pick response
  • powerful chop projection
  • smooth tremolo feel
  • clear double-stop separation
  • vocal upper-mid presence
  • rich acoustic resonance
  • forgiving on the fingers with lighter feel


The plain strings are high-stability nickel plated steel designed for:

  • clean intonation up the neck
  • quick tuning recovery
  • precise attack under heavy picking
  • effortless cross-picking
  • strong note definition
  • reduced left-hand fatigue


Wayne liked getting together with the guys to jam. Real acoustic music played face to face, where the sound of the instruments and the people making them mattered more than perfection. The woodiness of his clarinet, the bark of a banjo, the pulse of folk instruments ringing together in a room, that’s the spirit behind these strings. They’re built for musicians who stay after the show, pull up another chair, and keep playing because the music means something.

Hand-crafted in Canada for players who demand more than off-the-shelf tone.
