This set is chosen specifically for our specialty lap instrument with strings, the Folkcraft LAP-JO! These loop end strings are the right choice of gauges for a player that chooses 3-string playing.
Strings in this set:
Melody string .012
Middle string: .015
Bass string: .026SS
The "SS" stands for Stainless Steel. Stainless steel wound strings have a steel core, with a stainless steel winding. The stainless steel helps the LAP-JO achieve that bright, traditional banjo sound.
With a .012 for the melody string, a .015 for the middle string, and a .026 stainless steel wound string for the bass, this set balances the volume and tone across the strings (great for flatpicking!) and has a clear, bell-like tone quality.
