| | On the six-stringer bronze-wound strings are mandatory. Steel-wound guitar strings are only for electric guitars. Guitar-banjo strings are either very easy or very hard to find. If your instrument can take ball-end strings, you can use any kind of acoustic guitar strings, but if the banjo requires loop-end strings, the choices are much fewer (unless you want all the trouble of converting ball-ends to loop ends that is). Then again, all you really need is one choice of quality strings.
My recommendationsMy personal favourite for the guitar-banjo is Thomastik. Their round core give them a lovely loose and open feeling that I feel suits the guitar-banjo much better than the more common hex core strings.
When it comes to loop-end strings Boston has a good US-made standard set.
