Curt Mangan mando Loopend .017

Curt Mangan Mando Loopend .017 refers to a specific type of mandolin string manufactured by Curt Mangan.

Similar to the previous example, "mando" is short for mandolin, and "loopend" refers to the way the string is terminated at the end with a small loop that allows it to be attached to the instrument's tailpiece.

The .017 in the name refers to the string gauge, which is the thickness of the string. In this case, the string has a diameter of .017 inches, which is thicker than the .010 string. Thicker strings tend to produce a fuller sound with more sustain, while thinner strings produce a brighter sound with less sustain.

As with other Curt Mangan strings, the Mando Loopend .017 is known for its high quality and consistency in tone and playability. It's a popular choice among mandolin players who prefer a thicker gauge string for their instrument.
