So many different gauge for so many different banjo .
For low tuning on my tackhead i have used Bob Thornburg strings and works well :
1st string: 023 (0.575mm)
2nd string: 026 (0.675mm)
3rd string: 036 (0.925mm)
4th string: 0.90mm fluorocarbon
5th string: 026 (0.65mm)
Now i wish to try gut' string on modern banjo with standard tuning and for my old mandoline Pollmann banjo who set up actually with classical nylgut , so i assumed that i must try equivalent gauge that nylgut ...
Nylgut Classic standard tension is :
1 : 022 (0.56mm),
2 : 025 (0.63mm)
3: 030 (76mm)
4: .025W
5: 024 ( 61mm)
Which experience have you with gauge ?
