Gold ToneOBBS Open Back Banjo Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built for open-back banjo, Gold Tone OBBS uses nickel-plated steel and a custom .010, .012, .015, .024w, .010 gauge set. The stated result is a warm, bright balance with crisp note definition, rich overtones, and responsive feel. Loop ends are designed to work with open-back banjos and avoid tying or wrapping the string at the tailpiece. The USA-made set arrives in corrosion-resistant packaging to keep it fresh before installation.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing strings on an open-back banjo with a loop-end tailpiece setup.
- Players seeking the listed five-string .010 to .024w gauge combination.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Banjo types outside the set's open-back design.
