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.

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.

Very nice and inexpensive strings. They have a great tone for clawhammer banjo. Highly recommend.

I usually use Elixir coated strings, but I thought I'd give these a shot since they're normally less expensive. I play outdoors often, so I really prefer coated strings since they resist the deadening that often happens with humidity and don't pick up the dirt as easily. These strings seem strong enough, but they lack some of the "snap" I'm used to. They basically sound like a well-broken-in string from the moment you put them on. The packaging can be a pro, or a con depending on what you expect. They are all in a sealed plastic package, not individual paper wrappers like many other strings. They use color-coded "flags" (for lack of a better term) that make it somewhat difficult to determine which string is which gauge. There's a chart on the package telling you which color denotes which gauge, but that's not as easy as just reading an envelope. Overall, depending on the price, or if you prefer the all-in-one packaging, these are good strings and a valid alternative to Elixir strings.

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.

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 have a 5 string pyle banjo and two strings broke, I have no experience replacing strings so i thought i should get these as it states they are stronger. It took me 15 minutes but i didn't snap them (i thought i would) it sounds so good, better than the regular strings it came with. Buy these don't hesitate!
