I have friends with a Framus 6 string banjo. They rell me that intonation is a major issue with these guys and you have to take time to set the bridge with extreme accuracy. Also they use La Bella silk and steel guitar strings, like you would use on a Martin O-16. They have even used Bronze light guitar strings but they think in time the neck may have trouble wth Bronze.

GHS Banjo strings are available in individuals and are sizrd in many guages. Create a set that suits you. I think the ones on the banjo when they are new are too lite.
