    So far mostly I’ve only used Ernie ball light strings. I do like the sound of the bronze wound

      I've used those before. Not a fan of the bronze on most banjos, but I've got bronze on my fretless currently

    I have only tried LaBella #17 Nylgut strings and have enjoyed them. It's good to know that their steel strings are nice too!

      Yes they are! I'm looking forward to trying their nylon strings.

      @@JimPankeybe sure to brush up on your knot-tying skills and get your bifocals (I certainly needed them), as they don’t come with loops. In my limited experience, (and limited knot-tying skills) the first and second strings can be a little short.
      Good luck and happy picking, Jim!

    I use daddario xs on my les paul, Alvarez artist elite acoustic guitar, and my Washburn. I heard elixir discontinued mandolin strings 😢😢 so I decided to try xs. I don't have a banjo. I'm curious to see what You're most favorite string is? I only like daddario because of the color loop ends. IDK who else makes strings with that. Fender does for guitar, but not banjo
