Pros & Cons
Pros
Great sounding and good resonance. Softer, less metal sounding and very playable.
These are my go-to strings on my tenor banjo. Hold their tuning initially and later. It is important to press down on your strings occasionally in between tightening them while tuning to help them stretch in a more gentle fashion when getting up to tu... Read More
Cons
They are inexpensive but the first string i tried to put on the loop end came undone before i even put pressure on the string. Breaks at the loop. Sound great but the 5th string slips.
No bueno. Very aggravated. Utter trash, do yourself a favor and buy pretty much anything else.
Highlights
Quality
The immediately improved the sound of my banjo, and were much brighter and had more volume than the original strings.
They have always proven to be of good quality.
The 4th string (the wound one) broke while installing.
The bend messed up the flow of the string around the peg, and left a slight bulge.
Price
Great strings for the price i paid on black friday.
Great value, i bought a couple more sets.
For this price, i will never buy anything else.
Purchased 2 for the almost normal price found at other online retailers.
Shipping
These strings arrived quickly and installed easily.
Competitiveness
They are not any more expensive than the other strings that do not perform as well.

On here theyre listed as customlight and incorrectly categorized under nickel even though the 4th string is bronze
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I personally do not enjoy nickel wound 4th strings i find that they do not have that warm tone i love so much
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I find that this gauge is slightly smaller than the ernie ball frailing strings that ive tried which give it just that little extra when it comes to brightness of tone and clarity that im looking for without sounding muted or dead

It is important when stringing your instrument to press down on your strings occasionally in between tightening them while tuning to help them stretch in a more gentle fashion when getting up to tune instead of just cranking on the tuner until you reach pitch
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Tuning them without that small step makes them more likely to break
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Think of it as towing a car you never just leave the rope loose in between vehicles and suddenly accelerate that will cause the rope to break almost immediately when it comes under tension
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
You instead take the slack out and gradually increase tension until youre under load and youre off and rolling
