Banjo players who know the reputation of Dean Markley Guitar Strings asked me to design a line of superior banjo strings. After considerable testing of many types of strings and consulting with dozens of top professional musicians, we designed what we sincerely believe are the finest Banjo string going. Try a set or two. You'll find they really do deliver extra power, longer life, and a fuller richer tone. Remember, leave enough slack in the strings to have 3 to 4 wraps around the tuning post when tuned to pitch. For even longer wear and better sound, clean your string thoroughly after each use.
