GHS Banjo 4 String - Tenor (Loop End) Johnny Baier Set Medium, .011 - .030, Phosphor Bronze Chenilled, 230star rating 5Ron WelchMarch 15, 2010These strings tastefully cut through the brass of my trad New Orleans band, and have a warm, resonating bass, bright tone. They are easy to play, and last a good while. I experiment with other strings but always come back to these.
