Review: Good strings - I Like these strings for my banjo they work well the quality and sound are worth the purchase.
Review: Great for beginners - Light weight strings are good for beginners and young tender fingers. However, it also produces a lighter thinner sound and does not developed the necessary callous needed for clear noting. Great for starting out to build confidence and finger strength but will need to be replaced with medium strings for callous development and better tone.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the J60 and EJ60 strings?  They seem the same based upon the description.**
A: The 'E' stands for 'Environment', any strings with this prefix should have no plastic packaging.

**Q: Can these strings be used in a tenor guitar?**
A: I do not see why not.  4 string tenor CGDA or if you like Irish tuning try the GDAE string both cheap enough to try them out. The 5 string sets will not be good

**Q: Are these for gdae banjo?**
A: Yes, indeed-O!  These are great strings (I prefer the medium weight).

**Q: Can these be used on a banjolele?**
A: I had to look it up. A banjolele is a ukulele with a banjo body. It uses normal ukulele strings (typically nylon), not steel banjo strings.   Aside from the fact that this set has 5 strings and a banjolele has only 4, I suspect the tension would be entirely wrong if you tried to use these strings on a banjolele.
