Anyone got any recommendations ? I use elixirs on the guitar and it makes a huge difference, is there an equivalent for the
banjo ?Any advice appreciated, ta.
You can get Elixir singles at juststrings.com. I get banjo, bouzouki and other odd strings I play from them as singles and it works out pretty good value. I've just tried Elixirs for the first time on my guitar and they are very good. They seem to last quite a while and for an instrument I don't play very often it's nice to pick it up after a few weeks and have strings that haven't turned into rusty wire.
He makes batches up to order, whatever gauge you want, minimum order typically 4 sets, but it can take quite a while as he is sooo popular so order more than you think you need.

Re: Good banjo strings
Old dead strings are good. You don't want to change them too often.

I overheard a banjo player waxing lyrical about titanium strings recently.

Re: Good banjo strings
Newtone strings are the best IMHO
