Best Bluegrass Banjo Strings
I really like GHS strings, they work great and they have the best custom sets available for banjo. I use the PF 175's but the other sets also have intelligent gauge selections depending on what you want. If you aren't sure what's best for you. Beginners likely would choose one of these three sets. Lightest gauge PF 140, next step up would be the GHS PF 150 Banjo Strings or try the ones I use, the PF 175's
