D'Addario EJ55 Phosphor Bronze 5-String Banjo Strings - Medium (10-23)

Bring Warmth, Punch, and Balance to Your Banjo

Whether you are digging into bluegrass breakdowns or laying down smooth folk rhythms, the D'Addario EJ55 5-String Banjo String Set delivers the perfect balance of projection, playing comfort, and rich tonal warmth.

Crafted with high-carbon, tinned steel plain strings paired with a specially wound Phosphor Bronze 4th string, the EJ55 set provides the bright cut you need to push through a jam session while adding a deep, resonant bottom end. The medium gauge feel gives pickers slightly higher tension for maximum volume, enhanced sustain, and strong resistance against heavy picking.

Featuring universal loop-end construction, these strings easily fit virtually all standard 5-string banjos. Plus, every set is sealed in D'Addario’s signature environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant VCI packaging so they arrive as fresh as the day they were wound.

Key Features:

• Signature Tone: Preferred for its warm, bright, and exceptionally well-balanced acoustic output.                                                                                                                      
• Phosphor Bronze 4th String: Delivers extra warmth and punch to the low end.                                                                                                                          
• Universal Fit: Precision loop-end construction designed for standard 5-string banjo tailpieces.                                                                                                                                 
• Medium Tension: Ideal for players looking for punchy projection, extra sustain, and tuning stability under heavy picking.                                                                                                                              
• Eco-Friendly Packaging: Sealed in 100% recyclable, corrosion-resistant VCI packaging to keep strings fresh until opened.
