Easily pleased

From dvanmet on 7/15/2014 12:07:27 PM

I will tell you how easily pleased and what a beginner I am. I just changed my first set of strings and my banjo sounds better! In case you are wondering, the new ones are Gibson Earl Scruggs Signatures in medium weight. What a difference!

I wonder if it was the age of the original strings or the difference in the string type?

My guess is cheap banjo got cheap strings. I fixed it for $7
