Bill Keith Medium Light Steel Wound 5-String Banjo Strings

Monthly payments available Learn more
Medium/Light Gauge
Steel Wound 4th
This is a unique set of strings!
This is considered a medium/light-gauge set of strings.  They have a heavier 1st and 5th string which are designed to increase the contact pressure of the bridge to the head so that tone and note attack are enhanced while leaving the set of stings easy to play.  This set has a steel wound 4th string.

You should try these

Great to see that you are now carrying these! I have yet to find strings I like better than these. The choice of gauges is the result of the typical analytical approach that Bill took to everything he did. The first, second and fifth strings are all the same gauge, 0.011. This makes the first and fifth a little heavier than usual which feels great when pinching those two strings and the lighter than usual second string is a pleasure to bend. The heavier outer strings make for a bit more pressure on the outer part of the bridge which seems to help the tone a bit. An added bonus, since three of the strings are the same gauge, they are interchangeable. I prefer the bronze wound fourth string (red package). I hope you will be carrying them as well. I used to get them from Bill himself at festivals which also makes them special to me.

Great sounding strings!

I love these strings! Sound and feel great. They last at least twice as long as any other pair I’ve used so far! Definitely recommend.

Thanks for taking over JD internet business and becoming my source for all of my banjo needs. I received strings, picks, a hat and some stickers and everything was perfect. I want plastic finger picks instead of metal online if you can add them that would be awesome. Go see my Louisiana roots music show at abitaopry.org
