I was glad to find these strings! I had trouble locating ball end strings for tenor banjo - none in the stores near me, and almost none online. I found these on Just Strings and ordered them. They came promptly, were easy enough to install (given my 100+-year-old friction tuners and my inexperience replacing strings on this instrument), and they sound great. I haven't tried playing them loud, but I'm able to play them quietly enough that no one in the house complains. So far it's a win!
