CLASSICAL BANJO STRINGS FOR THE CONNOISSEUR

MOISTURE RESISTANT GUT STRINGS

HAND MADE IN ENGLAND

THE WORLD'S FINEST BANJO STRINGS

A set of the very finest classical/clawhammer banjo strings

Includes a silver wound on nylon 4th string

Many  banjoists much preferred the unique tone given by gut strings. The problem was that untreated gut is very susceptible to moisture and soon begins to fray. Using the very latest in modern technology this has been cured, our strings are treated with a hard-wearing moisture repellent which in no way affects the tone. Apart from the silver plated 4th, these strings are all pure gut and generate a truly wonderful tone. Before fitting your strings please ensure the nut and bridge are free from sharp edges. The nut grooves should not be too deep and they should be perfectly smooth. Our gut strings will repel the moisture in your fingers. Many years of research have gone into these hand made strings and we firmly believe they are the best money can buy. They take from six to eight weeks to make

The 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th strings are all moisture resistant gut. We experimented with a silver wound on gut string for the 4th but the cost was ridiculous, one string would cost more than the entire set. So instead we include our silver wound on nylon 4th string which produces a super tone.

If you take your banjo playing seriously and seek the best possible tone, then these are the strings for you.

These strings are 3' 3" (1 meter) long, they are not suitable for long neck banjos or for banjos with an extended peghead. Please check that they will fit your instrument, before ordering.

PURE GUT, MOISTURE RESISTANT, BANJO STRINGS.

Pros:
Best strings tried to date. Clean, powerful sound with great attack and nice feel under the fingers.

Cons:
None

Hi, I fitted your gut strings to my vintage Windsor Popular No.1 banjo. I like them a lot, they produce an authentic classic banjo sound, very crisp and without the sustain that is often found with nylon strings.
At first, it took me a little time to get used to the 'gritty' feel of them compared with nylon but after I'd played them in they settled down well and I find the resulting sound very pleasing. I would certainly recommend them to other players. I will post a comment on Classic-Banjo.ning website for the information of the other members.
All the best,
Steve Harrison
