D’Addario EJ61 5-String Banjo Strings – Medium 10–23 (Loop End, Nickel-Plated Steel)

Bright, balanced, and built to last. D’Addario EJ61 is the classic medium gauge (10–23) 5-string banjo set, favoured for bluegrass drive and articulate note definition. A high-carbon steel core with nickel-plated steel winding delivers snap and clarity with a smooth feel, while loop-end construction ensures an easy, universal fit on most 5-string banjos. Made in the USA and packed to stay fresh.
