Forum,
Can anyone tell me the gage Bart Reiter uses on his banjos when they are shipped? I want to change the strings on my new Buckbee and do not want to install same gage. They are too slinky for me.
Thanks in advance/Brad

Bart told me he uses D'Addario J61 Mediums, at least on my Special.

Bart told me the J61's - mediums. That was a couple of years ago and he may or may not be doing the same now.

Thanks Jeff, Dale and Marshall.
I figured someone here at BHO might have spoken with Bart about this detail. I could not find any info on his website nor did I want to call him on this subject.
I'm not certain my Buckbee has mediums on. Very different feel than my Round Peak and I know the scale lengths are the same at 26 1/4". I will try the recommended mediums.
Thanks again/Brad
