Changing Your Banjo Strings

[vtrestrail]

Thank you.

My banjo does not have a slot for the hoop to loop over. It needs a thimble.

Where do I get banjo strings that come with thimbles? What are they called?

Thanks!

Thankyou so much for taking this slowly. I had my 5 string banjo restrung in a shop. They put the 5th string the wrong side of the pulley and when I began to play it sheered off the small cleft peg through which the string ran. Wish I'd thought to look here first. I just replaced that peg with a small brass round head screw and hope this is not a terrible mistake. Many thanks to you again-Peter

I'm confused. A pckg of strings comes with one marked L10 and one marked L11. I wound up putting the L10 as my 5th string and the L11 as my 1st. Is this correct?

Great video!!  I didn't have any idea how to do this for my first time and this was explained very clearly and was easy to follow. AWESOME! THANK YOU!!

Other videos I've seen tend to skip over how to "lock" the string in place, which has always been my problem. It is my problem no more. Thanks!!

I wish you'd have shown the fifth sting.

[alexsullivanbanjos]
