Aquila Red Series AQ-11B Medium Spanning Banjo Snaren 5-delige Set

Je modifie mon commentaire, car peu après avoir monté ces cordes, sans jouer (son de casserole, impossibilité de garder le banjo accordé) et même accordé un ton et démi en dessous l'accordage standard, j'ai retrouvé le banjo avec une corde (5eme) qui s'est pété tout seul.Donc mon avis final: trop cher pour un produit bien trop fragile.Commentaire d'origine:Niveau son, ça fait un peu... jouet. J'ai vu d'autres commentaires qui les Nylgut ne sonnent pas trop avec les tonerings Whyte Ladye, comme sur mon banjo, et ce n'est pas faux. Avec un torchon à l'intérieur, c'est mieux. Mais comme ça on a le même son qu'avec les cordes standards.Autre chose: j'étais obligé à changer le cordier (pour un No-Knot de Golden Gate) car les cordes sont bien plus grosses que les cordes en acier.Pour ceux qui se plaignent que les cordes sont trop court: les cordes s'étirent d'une manière impressionnante. Il faut de la patience, par contre, car c'est impossible de garder le banjo accordé. Comptez de ré-accorder tous les 3 minutes.

With out a doubt the best strings available for banjo. Fell great sound great.

I immediately fell in love with these strings. I've struggled in my attempt to move from steel strings to nylon on my circa 1910 open-back, but these did the trick.I like to tune low, and I was able to get these down to open E with only a very slight buzz on the 4th string when playing it open a bit too aggressively. Barely an inconvenience!They feel and sound great, like the perfect middle ground between steel and nylon. Just an absolute blast to play.Sadly, I wasn't taking good care of my clawhammer nail, and the jagged edge caused the 1st string to begin fraying after about nine days of playing every day. It broke on day 14, and that was that!I'm definitely purchasing again, as I believe better nail care will allow these strings to last a lot longer. Most banjo players aren't filing their nails to a smooth polish, so I think these break for a lot of people which is why that's such a common complaint.

I used them on a 22 1/2" scale banjo and had absolutely no problems. I didn't even follow the advice and stretch them. Just tune up incrementally.

First off, these strings are certainly not as sturdy as steel and you need remember that when stringing it up and playing it. As long as you're careful and slow, they shouldn't break on you when stringing it up and tensioning. I bought 2 packs in case of a popped string but had no issues while string it up. No breaks! Just need to have a little patience while stringing it up, be sure to gently stretch the strings while tensioning. These strings are not looped at the end so you are going to need to be a little creative depending on the tailpiece on your banjo. They make my 12" Ome Tupelo banjo sound amazing. I'm amazed at the quality and tone and wonder why I haven't bought these sooner. Although they may not look long enough initially, the strings will stretch significantly while tensioning. If you're a clawhammer player, you really can't go wrong with these!
