D'Addario Nickel 5-String Banjo Strings — Light 9-20

Bright, Punchy Bluegrass Tone

D'Addario Nickel 5-String Banjo Strings in Light 9-20 deliver the crisp, cutting voice that has made D'Addario a standard on the bluegrass stage. The nickel-plated steel wound string paired with plain steel strings gives you a bright top end, clear projection, and the balanced note-to-note response pickers rely on for fast rolls and clean single-note lines.

Bright and Balanced

Nickel-plated steel delivers a brilliant, articulate tone with plenty of ring and sustain - punchy without getting harsh, and even across all five strings. It is the classic all-purpose banjo sound, at home in traditional bluegrass, old-time, and clawhammer playing alike.

Construction

• Wound string: Nickel-plated steel wrap for a bright, projecting, well-balanced tone.
• Plain strings: High-carbon plain steel for clarity and snap.
• Core: High-carbon steel - drawn in-house for dimensional stability and precise intonation.
• Winding: Precision wound on digitally controlled machines for guaranteed accuracy and consistency, set after set.

Consistency You Can Count On

D'Addario draws its own core wire and winds every string on machines it engineers in-house, so the set you buy today plays and sounds like the last one. Sealed in a recyclable, corrosion-inhibiting VCI bag so it is fresh out of the package.
