Harley Benton Valuestrings Banjo-5 Reviews

Very light set, not suitable for clawhammer

Not the most impressive sound but their durability is solid and depending on the style you play these strings might be just fine, esp. considering the low price.

Be warned, though, that they are extremely light and therefore pretty unusable for clawhammer. For that style get a heavier set, such as GHS PF160 or D'Addario EJ55.

Unbelievable value for money

What can you say about a set of strings that costs less than 2 euros. Exceptional value for money. They do not last as long as some other brands but cost a third of the price.

You can not go wrong with these strings. I always have a couple of seys in my banjo case.

Unbeatable price

They sound good and for this price it's impossible to find something better.

Best value

There are no better banjo strings for this price.

overall nice

Great for the low cost, but if you need, some more serius strings, go somewhere else

Very good value light string set

Ideal for learning to play with. Light strings that have good length and a robust loop end.

Easy to fit and give a good tone when tight.

As you progress with Banjo playing you will want to experiment with lots of different strings to determine the "best" for your ear but for starting out and as a baseline these HB sets are excellent value.

Actually has bronze wound G string!!

Can't beat these for the money. Awesome. Wish they had them in Medium for lower tunings. Use them on a cheap Harley Benton 5 string with Fiberskyn head. Great Tone.

Great strings for the price.

They perhaps don't last quite as long as some other brands that are much more expensive but considering you can buy about 5 packs of these for the same price you're better off sticking with these !

Unless you're recording or touring I would say these are perfectly adequate for practice/home use.

The sound is perfectly acceptable and most would not notice the difference between these are more expensive strings.

Basically, considering the cost they're amazing. Some brands offer 1 string for this price !

Great value for money

These strings, by Harley Benton, provide a good sound, with good harmonics and nice low end. They are well finished and feel comfortable and light to play. I am not sure about the durability, because I have been using them for only a few days now. Recommended!
