A unique feeling and a strong, consistent sound. Until now, it was necessary to increase the gauge of a string for it to produce a lower-pitched note. But increasing the string’s diameter also increases internal dampening. That makes the string less bright, less responsive and more muffled; the thicker the string, the duller the sound. Our revolutionary new approach - unique to us - changes the specific weight of the material, increasing it progressively to leave the gauge almost unchanged.
The result is amazing: instruments sound brighter, more powerful and more responsive through the entire range of the fret board. The strings also maintain their intonation better, because thicker strings need to be fretted harder, pulling them further out of tune.
RED SERIES sets provide superior performance over traditional strings for musicians who love bright sounds and powerful performance across the full scale of the instrument.strings for old style / classic banjomanufactured from a mixture of Nylgut and red copper powdermedium tensionfor DCGCG tuninggauges (mm): 0.56, 0.64, 0.81, 1.07, 0.56red to red-brown (color varies slightly due to different percentages of copper powder used to optimize each string's performance)bright, defined sound with excellent attackclear promptness and good timbre modulationimproved, accurate intonation past the 12th frettwice as much density as classic Nylgutslightly rough surfacestring ends color-codedmade in Italy
