Banjo Nuts needed!

I need to find at least 3 Lange, or Paramount banjo closed end hook nuts. Does anyone have a source for a few parts...I've searched the web to no avail and every time I'm at a dead end I find great help here.
Many thanks in advance for any help that might be shared.

Piccolo 5 String Banjo Strings

I need some help in getting strings for my Piccolo 5 string banjo. Currently it has steel strings, but I don't want to damage the frets and was hoping someone out there knows the best nonmetal strings for this instrument. The piccolo was built to be tuned an octive above standard 5 string banjo pitch (sometimes to D rather than C).

I greatly appreciate your help with my string problem. I went with the Aquila Classical Banjo light tension and am thrilled with the feel, action, and sound. I couldn't find any here in Denver, so I called Bernunzio and talked with Robbie who also plays Piccolo banjo. He confirmed your suggestions and gave me a bunch of good pointers as well...I've always had wonderful help from the gang at Bernunzio! I was a bit stumped at exactly how to attach the loop-less/ball-less string, couldn't find any information on the internet, so I just went with a simple square knot, it holds, but if you gentlemen have "the correct" way to attach these Aquila strings to a Stewart tailpiece, I would love to learn it!
Well, again thank you all for your help, I am having a great time with this little thing!
Sincerely, Dana
