I am seeking to get a wound A (440HZ) to work on my Mandocello (26" scale) I have tried a 0.020", 0.022" and 0.024" ball end Phosphor Bronze D'Addario and they greak around G to G#. Are there any higher tensile core strings that can get to A?

Have you checked the nut and bridge of your instrument to make sure there's not a burr that's cutting the string? Where along the string does it tend to break?
