GHS Strings PF135 J.D. Crowe Signature Series (Stage), 5-String Stainless Steel Banjo Strings (.010-.020)

Let me be clear about something: I bought the PF 180s, which are 011-sized. 013- 016- 024w- 010 . The strings themselves are in perfect condition. I bought them to go with a Huber Maple Workhorse that I have. There was a noticeable change in tone- Don't get me wrong: these are fantastic strings. I'll most likely replace them with the PF 135 or J. The scene is set for Crowe. What I like about these heavier strings is that they sound "true" when you're really getting into a tune; there's no "strong presumption" off-tune. tones or the like, but the Huber's crisp, sparkling sound was noticeably diminished, in my opinion. So I guess I'll take Jack Hatfield's advice and learn not to use more pressure than I actually need to make the chords, runs, and so on. lights. If this experiment fails, I'll just go to Huber and buy my strings. At 30. 00 for six sets for the Workhorse will put them close to GHS in terms of price. UPDATE: The J was purchased by me. They're a Crowe Stage set, and they're fantastic. It's the perfect balance of lightness and heaviness. In fact, the HUber strings that came with the workhorse are very similar in size. I've found my strings (the J. ) as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to stick with Crowe Stage strings for now. By the way, I gave the original review three stars and gave the Crowe's one star more. Nothing is perfect, so there are no five-star reviews.

These are 5 different string sets that have been reviewed. As a result, what others say may be meaningless to you. br>GHS strings are high-quality strings. The gauges and metals used (nickel and brass) are the only differences. Find the gauges that work best for you; the brands don't differ much. I use 10- OB- 10 in Gold Tone 150 GHS strings are unbeatable in terms of price.

I used to play with Gibson Medium strings when I was younger. I experimented with lighting, but it didn't feel quite right. After fitting a neck for me, a friend who builds banjos put these on a banjo. He insisted on giving them a shot. I didn't like the lack of feel at first, but he knew what he was doing, so I left them on. br>After a day, I was quite fond of them. I grew to appreciate them after a few days. br>I swear these strings give me a better tone and are simple to play. They're also low-cost and have a long lifespan. br>At the moment, these strings are my favorites!.

I already know these are good strings, so I'm just going over my previous experiences with them. I don't like these because I'm new to banjo and am still learning what I like and what works for me. They appear to be in poor physical condition. One of them broke while I was putting it together. The sound bothered me. Maybe it's just the light gauge, because I switched to a different brand's medium gauge and they sound great. I'm thinking about trying the ghs medium gauge at some point. When it comes to these, They just didn't appeal to me.

I've been using 5Star lights for a while now, and I'd heard a lot about how much these GHS strings are loved by some pickers, so I decided to give them a shot. They have a good feel to them and are of good quality. I've been playing my main banjo (Deering Sierra) for about six weeks and it's still going strong. On this almost stock instrument, the sound is extremely pure, which I find a little excessive. Strings are still fantastic!.

I chose to award 5 stars to this seller and set of strings. You will receive your order as promised, and it was delivered relatively quickly as well. The strings are GHS, which makes excellent strings, and J D Crowe is one of the best banjo pickers in the world. I use this gauge on my banjo, and since I've had no problems with GHS strings on my electric guitars, I decided to try them out on my banjo. I play a lot of music, and banjo is one of the instruments I use. If you play bluegrass at jam sessions like I do, you want strings that will last a long time because a good jam session can start early in the evening and last until the sun rises, and sometimes even longer if the festival is a three-day or ten-day event. That's a lot of jamming, and you'll need some good strings to keep up with it. The value for money was also excellent. You will be looked after by this seller as well.

I was hesitant to purchase a different gauge string at first, but I'm glad I did. My banjo sounds fantastic with these strings. It has a softer, more full tone to it. These strings come highly recommended by me.

The money spent was not well spent. These were broken before I even had a chance to play them, and the loops were extremely difficult to work with. br>The stainless steel D'Addario's are the way to go. They're more affordable and, in my opinion, a better all-around string.
