How to Put Nylon or Nylgut Strings on a Banjo

Описание: Support Banjo Heritage 👉   / cliftonhicks  
Here's the easiest way to restring your banjo with nylon or gut strings. I'm using Aquila Nylgut "Classic Banjo" strings and an 1888 Luscomb banjo; however, the process is basically the same on any vintage banjo, whether you're using gut, nylgut, nylon, fluorocarbon, or fishing line.

If you have a modern instrument like the Deering "Goodtime," a Pisgah banjo, Recording King, or Gold Tone, I recommend trying La Bella No. 17 nylon strings instead. These are lighter and more likely to fit without having to widen the nut slots.

The best USA-made bridges for gut and nylon strings are made by Joel Hooks: https://www.banjothimble.com/
