Nice banjo. Your Bell is a 27” scale? Where do people with a Hartel 31” version go for strings? Thanks!

I believe the aquila minstrel nylguts are longer than 48". I used em on a 29" scale and had plenty left to wind around pegs.

I just measured a set of Nylgut Minstrels that I remembered that I have. The one that I measured is slightly longer than 48”. Thanks for the feedback.
