BANJO STRINGS

How to Choose Banjo Strings
A great way to choose banjo strings is by tone. Stainless Steel banjo strings provide a super bright tone with excellent projection. Nickel-Plated Steel banjo strings have clear fundamentals and hold precise intonation. Phosphor Bronze banjo strings will give you a warm and balanced sound. You can also extend the life of your strings with XT coated banjo strings.
How Many Strings Does a Banjo Have?
Banjos most commonly have 5 strings, though you can also find 4-and 6-string banjos.
