Versatile tenor banjo strings with a balanced warm-bright tone.
The Gold Tone TBS tenor banjo strings offer musicians a balanced, warm-yet-bright tone for versatility across musical styles. With a custom nickel-plated steel gauge of .009, .016, .022w and .030w, these strings are highly responsive and easy to play while maintaining the rich, full-bodied sound tenor banjo players demand. The TBS strings' loop end design ensures universal compatibility for hassle-free installation on any tenor banjo. Handcrafted in the USA, they provide exceptional clarity, longevity and corrosion resistance thanks to premium American craftsmanship and packaging. For banjo players seeking the ideal blend of warm lows and crisp, defined highs, the Gold Tone TBS strings deliver exceptional tone and playability every time.
Achieve Versatility With a Balanced Warm-Bright Tone
The custom nickel-plated steel gage of the Gold Tone TBS tenor banjo strings provides players with the best of both worlds - warm lows and crisp, well-defined highs. This balanced tonal profile gives you the versatility to excel across musical genres, from jazz to folk to bluegrass. The strings respond evenly across the fingerboard, with rich, complex overtones in the lower register that blend beautifully into a snappy, articulate treble. The TBS strings help you stand out in an ensemble with their focused midrange, allowing the tenor banjo to cut through the mix. Their bright yet warm, vintage-inspired tonality also makes them a great choice for songwriting and studio work.
Experience Responsiveness and Ease of Play
With their custom nickel-plated steel gauge of .009, .016, .022w and .030w, the Gold Tone TBS strings offer an exceptionally smooth feel and responsive, easy playability. The lighter gauges provide fast, even response across the strings, making them ideal for quick single-note runs and intricate picking patterns. The unwound 3rd string has a tight tension that aids in clean articulation and precise fretting. The wound 4th string gives you full-bodied tone and projection perfect for chords and strumming. Together, they provide the ideal balance of playability and full tenor banjo sound. The TBS strings also hold their tuning stability incredibly well, even under heavy playing.
Built to Last With Premium American Craftsmanship
Constructed in the USA, the Gold Tone TBS tenor banjo strings showcase exceptional build quality and attention to detail. The custom nickel-plated steel provides clarity and definition, along with improved corrosion resistance for longer string life. The loop end design allows easy installation on any tenor banjo, while the corrosion-resistant packaging keeps your strings fresh. When you choose the TBS strings, you get the quality and pride of American workmanship in every set. Whether you play occasionally or are constantly gigging, their premium construction ensures these strings will hold up to serious use while providing consistent tone show after show.
