I just got a Gold Tone and would like to play around with strings to really maximize the banjo sound. It's the deluxe with the resonator back, so that is the sound that I am looking for...a resonator banjo sound. (Not looking for a gut or plunky tone, since that would be better on an open back or the like.)
Has anyone had success stringing Gold Tones with some manner of steel strings? I was thinking about lap dulcimer strings, mostly just because I have one, so I am familiar with them and know they are pretty light. That's just the one thought that I had though...I am totally open to suggestions!
Thoughts? Experiences? Would love to hear your knowledge!
Thanks all!
