Hi, i am brand new to this forum but have been involved with stringed instruments for over 30 years. I trust this thread is still active. This may be of use to some of you? My experience of squeaky strings has always been to rub a very little talcum powder on my fingers and rub it into /onto the strings. The squeak may come back but after a few applications and the strings "bed in" it seems to eventually eliminate the problem. Talc also seems to allow me to be more consistent with my finger picking technique. Maybe this has been tried or is a technique not recommended but i prefer it and it continues to work for me. Trust this might be of some help and would be nice to hear is anyone else has tried it.
Welcome Banjo,
This is a great suggestion.
I love the sound of the strings, the girth and resonance. I will give this a go and let you know.
Cheers.
