Features
Loop end convenience
The secure loop end fits standard tailpieces on banjos and other loop end instruments, making installation quick and straightforward. It grips well, beds in fast and helps ensure a confident fit for stable performance during practice, rehearsal and shows.
Nickel wound tone
Nickel wound construction provides a clear, balanced voice with articulate mids and controlled brightness. It sits well in an ensemble, cuts through when you need definition and remains smooth under the fingers for comfortable fretting and picking.
Consistent build quality
Made to tight tolerances for dependable intonation and tuning stability, this string delivers repeatable results from pack to pack. The precise winding and carefully formed loop help reduce slippage, improve longevity and keep your setup sounding its best for longer.
Versatile .020w gauge
The .020 wound gauge is a popular choice for banjo fourth strings and suits many custom combinations across loop end instruments. It offers a reassuring tension and projection that supports clear fundamentals without excess stiffness.
Ideal for spares and repairs
Supplied as a single string, it is perfect for emergency replacements, topping up a toolkit or building a tailored set. Keep one in your case or classroom drawer to avoid lost practice time when a string breaks at an awkward moment.
