D'Addario Banjo Strings, Nickel-Plated Steel, EJ61, Medium Gauge 10-23, 5-String Set, Pack of 1

Nice strings good quality and sound

I've been using D'Addario guitar strings for years now, so it made sense to use them when restringing an Irish tenor banjo, that I bought s/h,and unseen.The person I bought it from had just used cut down ball end guitar strings on it,which I found strange, but I realised why, when it took me the best part of an hour to restring it, using proper loop end strings.Firstly,do them one at a time,or else the bridge will move.2.Slide the colour code paper off the thin end,and not the loop end.3.Try to bend the wound end of the string above the loop down,so that it is easier to hook it under the small teeth in the tailpiece.This is fiddly, and requires several minutes of swearing to get the job done.It may help to wind the string on the machine head first, hook it on, then wind on, and pray that it stays hooked on.4.Try to get it roughly in tune, and leave it for a while.5.Whatever you do,don't cut the strings, until you have them in tune.You may find the loop is not properly hooked on, as you increase the tension,so you may end up doing it all again.The strings sound fantastic, so worth it in the end.

Nice strings but sounded a bit sharpNot quite my personal taste but good value

Great strings as always, you can pay more for similar but these have never let me down even when hard playing just one problem and the fault is mine I bought ball end instead of loop, so I will have to go buy a banjo that uses ball end lol any excuse init much to my better half's disgust 😬 🫣 I know i could send them back but like I said any excuse banjo number six on the horizon 😀

Easy to play and nice range of sound. Not sure how long they will last as only been in use a few weeks. All good up to now.

Strings are colour coded. So very easy for a novice player. Great tone , have used cheaper ones, never again.

Moved over to this brand recently. The strings are ok but I don't think they last as long as I'm used to.

Good quality
