Best classic banjo strings

August 8, 2021

The strings are superb, which is indicated by their not being readily available from the usual outlets. When everyone else (including Juststrings) ran out, your salesperson (alas, I cannot recall her name) went to the extent of showing me similar items that might work for me. As I was considering her advice, there was my original order of La Bellas in the mail. Thank you, Juststrings, for being a bit more than...just strings.

These nylon banjo strings are just perfect for my 1898 S.. S. Stewart Special Thoroughbred. I shall order another set along with a no knot tailpiece for my other banjo..

They are perfectly weighted for a light touch. Can't think of any.

Great strings on a Great Old Banjo...

The La Bella #17's are my favorite and came highly recommended by Clifton Hicks...
The intonation seems to work well across all 5 strings.
Thank You, Bill R...

I put these on my Wildwood Longneck and
Couldn�t be happier. It takes a while to stretch them out, but they sound fantastic. Easy on my fingers and my frets!!

They fit You need to tie a perfection knot in one end

Best % string nylon string option out there

March 1, 2020

Don't waste your time on Nyguts, these are the best nylon strong option for 5 string banjos since Chris Sand's became unavailable. They tune up to standard pitch and break in quickly, lots of punch too.

Break in quick, hold pitch and you can tune up to standard and up to A. None

A bargain with little compromise

January 22, 2011

Recently bought an old friction peg banjo which came with steel strings! Took the strings off immediately before any further damage was done. Since then I have been experimenting with nylon and to be honest the best choice so far was using a medium classical guitar set from Augustine, using the E,B,G and D strings. They gave me great sound, the only problem being the strings were too thick to want to hack into the old (possibly original) bone nut so decided to buy a set of La Belle. I have found them a great compromise. Easy on the hands, great to use , however they are a bit too light, almost slack, and lack sustain for my liking. Took a lot of time to settle in too, with much stretching. But at this price who can argue! Try it out at least!

Classic banjo strings

November 26, 2010

I was told that my SS Stewart Stallion banjo should not have metal strings so changed to the nylon. The tone is crisper and supposedly the banjo neck will not be damaged. I do like the sound.
