Any video you come out with I’ll watch it and enjoy it. Thanks

[@JimPankey]

Thanks ☺️

[@kevinfay4062]

What a nice warm tone with your RK and those strings. They sound great!

[@JimPankey]

Thanks for listening 😊

[@tiedyedkarma]

I use LaBella 17, nylon strings. I love them.

[@JimPankey]

Nice!

[@jason_learns]

I have only tried LaBella #17 Nylgut strings and have enjoyed them. It's good to know that their steel strings are nice too!

[@JimPankey]

Yes they are! I'm looking forward to trying their nylon strings.

[@jason_learns]

@@JimPankeybe sure to brush up on your knot-tying skills and get your bifocals (I certainly needed them), as they don’t come with loops. In my limited experience, (and limited knot-tying skills) the first and second strings can be a little short. Good luck and happy picking, Jim!

[@JimPankey]

@@jason_learns I'm fairly adept at tying. I've got a couple of banjos I keep nylon strings on.

[@thefarmer013]

So far mostly I’ve only used Ernie ball light strings. I do like the sound of the bronze wound

[@JimPankey]

I've used those before. Not a fan of the bronze on most banjos, but I've got bronze on my fretless currently

[@donaldfair4259]

Those strings sound to be working for your banjo 🪕 skills .

[@JimPankey]

They are!

[@nightskyimaging]

I just ordered two sets! I too will report back on how they worked for me!

[@JimPankey]

Hope you like them as much as I do!

Hello Mr Jim i was wondering if you could do a lesson on johnny reb by jimmy Horton

[@11calman]

Yep, "LaBella" strings are good enough for "Willy Nelson" and Good enough for me.

[@JimPankey]

I'm pretty excited about this! :)

[@11calman]

@@JimPankey Mate, I Live in New Zealand, & they are a bit expensive postage,, How about sending me a couple nylon sets for my Acoustic, I'll , look you up and write you a song.

[@Bigger_boot]

Jesus I had to stop playin th banjo for a while cuz I broke a finger but Im happy to finally be playin again. Im workin on pretty polly right now. Do you think you can do a lesson on "The battle of new orleans" by Johnny Horton?

[@tylerjones7310]

Have you tried mape or woodtone strings?

[@JimPankey]

Yep! I used Mapes for years.

[@WorshipGuitarist4life17]

I use daddario xs on my les paul, Alvarez artist elite acoustic guitar, and my Washburn. I heard elixir discontinued mandolin strings 😢😢 so I decided to try xs. I don't have a banjo. I'm curious to see what You're most favorite string is? I only like daddario because of the color loop ends. IDK who else makes strings with that. Fender does for guitar, but not banjo

[@JimPankey]

Pretty fond of these LaBella strings.

[@WorshipGuitarist4life17]

Thanks for replying to me!!! Means a lot ​@@JimPankey

[@guthriemayfield8721]

Any trouble with g or sawmill using the LaBellas?

[@JimPankey]

No problem with any alternate tuning

[@sirgalah561]
