Rather annoyingly I have just broken a string on My banjo. Must have been about 50 years old I reckon. You did keep the receipt, right Andy?

I would welcome any Sunday evening thoughts from our wise brethren here assembled as to the extent to which such string longevity might, perhaps, compromise the sparkling, yet richly satisfying tone associated with this particular instrument. Or, might it be the case, as, indeed I suspect, that an element of metallic torrefaction has set in - taking us tonally into the realms of Stradivarius? Based on my principle that a major reason to change old strings on a guitar is to avoid intonation problems, this has no relevance in regard to banjos. You keep those strings until they receive a telegram from The King, bleatoid.
