## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the J60 and EJ60 strings?  They seem the same based upon the description.**
A: The 'E' stands for 'Environment', any strings with this prefix should have no plastic packaging.

**Q: Can these strings be used in a tenor guitar?**
A: I do not see why not.  4 string tenor CGDA or if you like Irish tuning try the GDAE string both cheap enough to try them out. The 5 string sets will not be good

**Q: Are these for gdae banjo?**
A: Yes, indeed-O!  These are great strings (I prefer the medium weight).

**Q: Can these be used on a banjolele?**
A: I had to look it up. A banjolele is a ukulele with a banjo body. It uses normal ukulele strings (typically nylon), not steel banjo strings.   Aside from the fact that this set has 5 strings and a banjolele has only 4, I suspect the tension would be entirely wrong if you tried to use these strings on a banjolele.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great sound and durability
*by M***E on May 6, 2025*

I use these on my old Deering Goodtime banjo with the Gumby head. I did not need to make any alterations to the nut or the bridge to make them fit. (Not saying you won’t need to, but I didn’t need to with mine) Awesome sound and very durable, but they do take a while to tune-in due to the amount of stretch that they have. This is not a flaw by any means, it’s absolutely normal for these types of strings. I may have taken a good week or more, until they set.It’s hard to compare these to a metal strings, but if I did, I would say that they hold their sound better in the long run. Metal strings seem to lose the sound after a while, but these things sound just as good now as the day that I put them on months ago. I play in all sorts of tunings and keys. I’ve tuned down low, as well as up to standard A, Double C and D tuning.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Strings
*by O***R on February 18, 2023*

I use the Light gauge set strings with the phosphor bronze wound 4th string. On here they're listed as Custom-Light and incorrectly categorized under Nickel even though the 4th string is bronze. I personally do not enjoy nickel wound 4th strings, I find that they do not have that warm tone I love so much.These strings are great, I go through a set about once a month or so and that's playing every day for at least 20-30 minutes. They stay in tune well. I find that this gauge is slightly smaller than the Ernie Ball frailing strings that I've tried which give it just that little extra when it comes to brightness of tone AND clarity that I'm looking for without sounding muted or dead. I play clawhammer style if that matters.In the year and change I've been playing I've only had two strings snap on me and that was while I was restringing the instrument and I was very new to the instrument as a whole which I attribute the snapping more to my lack of experience at the time then to quality of product. It is important when stringing your instrument to press down on your strings occasionally in between tightening them while tuning to help them stretch in a more gentle fashion when getting up to tune instead of just cranking on the tuner until you reach pitch. Tuning them without that small step makes them more likely to break. Think of it as towing a car, you never just leave the rope loose in between vehicles and suddenly accelerate - that will cause the rope to break almost immediately when it comes under tension. You instead take the slack out and gradually increase tension until you're under load and you're off and rolling.TL:DR Best strings I've found so far though I'm always trying new ones just to see what's out there. Have fun!
