Which strings do you use on your Recording Kng

From carlwells2535 on 9/17/2012 2:01:40 PM

Looking to buy some new strings and was wondering what strings you use. I currently use GHS.

Try the American Made Banjocryogenic strings. The strings along with a new tailpiece made my RK25 come alive.

How do you have yours set up. Bridge, tailpiece, etc. Mine is stock! LOL

I replaced ( with the help of a luthier ) the stock tailpiece with a Kershner. Not expensive but made a boat load of difference in the volume and tone. I have kept the stock bridge and nut.
According to my luthier Banjo Hut did a great job setting up the banjo. I waited until my first string change to change the tailpiece. The luthier I used wanted the stock presto off ASAP.

I went with 9.5,11, 12, 20, 9.5 but you may want to experiment.

I'm learning clawhammer and I've settled on Ernie Ball Frailing strings.
