Prolong your tone with the same premium banjo strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available.
Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated banjo strings.
Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes?
Engineered to endure, these nickel-plated steel banjo strings boast a rich, golden tone while their original POLYWEB Coating provides a slick, fast feel.

I've been a loyal customer to Elixer for 6 years now. Never would've thought that they made a set for Banjos. These stings are absolutly phenominal. To be honest, the Banjo was not even mine to begin with, I just decided to do the owner a favor and change his strings for him. So I hope he'll like these.

It's my first time stringing up the banjo so maybe I did something wrong so I may not be the best judge. It sounds very different . I did it right though I measured from the nut to the twelfth fret and doubled it to place my bridge and kept everything else the same.

"message":"Gauges 09-10-13-20-09. <BR/><BR/>Elixirs are the first major innovation in strings in over forty years, and they deliver what they promise: great tone and long life no matter what you put them on or how often you play.<BR/><BR/>Elixir Banjo Strings are covered with an ultrathin, space-age polymer tube that contacts the string on the tops of the windings only. This leaves the all-important winding-to-winding-to-core space free from the fear of the enemies of tone!<BR/><BR/>Most players report that Elixir Strings keep sounding great 3 to 5 times longer than ordinary strings.",
