Why use ELIXIR Strings

Elixir

collapse expand iconDescription

Prolong your tone with the same premium banjo strings that experienced players worldwide trust to keep their incredible tone longer than any other string available.

Unlike other string brands, Elixir Strings coats the whole string. This protects not only the outer string surface, but also the gaps between the windings where common tone-deadening gunk typically builds up in other brands’ coated and uncoated banjo strings.

Who wouldn’t love more quality playing time between the hassle and cost of string changes?

Engineered to endure, these nickel-plated steel banjo strings boast a rich, golden tone while their original POLYWEB Coating provides a slick, fast feel.

    I have used elixir strings before the coating makes them last longer, they sound great, less getting "out of tune" and definitely worth the cost.

    I bought a Rogue banjo, which was good for the cost, but did not have the right, iconic banjo noise. These strings changed all of that; they have made the banjo louder with a far better tone. These are a must and worth every cent.
