D'AddarioXTJ1020, XT Banjo Guitar Strings Stainless Steel, Custom Medium Light, 10-20

The strings feel nice, arrived in one piece. I'll be switching to a light gauge because these are not quite as bright and are a little drowned out by the rhythm guitar in my 2 piece.If the banjo was playing alone or with something brighter (mandolin? Violin?) These would be perfect.

Normally I string my smaller-scale custom banjo with Elixir Polyweb light gauge strings. None were available locally or on Amazon, so I decided to try the D'Addario XT custom lights. They are overpowering for such a banjo and bowed the neck. That said, I have offered them to two banjo buddies because... wow!... when these strings are picked, let me tell you, all the Rice Crispy characters show up - snap! - crackle! - pop! Had I not sold my prewar Gibson in March I'd have put them on that old #2 5-string and probably wished there was a volume knob. :^)~ Impressive, but unfortunately, not suitable for my instrument.

I'm using it for my aucastic banjo (Bulbul tarang), it works superb. Many experts told me it won't work for this instrument but I am happy and replaced all strings with PI00xx series of this brand.

長年、ロングネックバンジョーにライト弦と思い込んでいましたが、フィンガーピックなしでの演奏も多くなり今回思い切ってミドルゲージに。音量、サスティーン共に満足しています。

Every maker has their own definition of light gauge. These medium/ light strings are lighter than Deering lights. Banjos like light strings, and these fit the bill.
