Using these D'Addario EJ61 banjo strings is easy. First, make sure your banjo is in a stable position. Loosen the old strings one by one and remove them. Take the new strings and thread them through the appropriate pegs, starting from the smallest gauge for the 5 - string banjo. Tighten the pegs gradually until you reach the right tuning. Remember, when tuning, turn the pegs slowly to avoid over - tightening and breaking the strings. For maintenance, wipe the strings with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. This will keep the strings sounding good for longer. Store your banjo in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent the strings from rusting. If you notice any signs of wear or the tone starts to dull, it's time to replace the strings.
