Nylon 5 srring banjo strings (different guages)
Hello. Apologies for the maybe obvious question, but can anyone tell me where I can order nylon strings (and a 4th wound) in different guages? It seems quite the task to track anything down online. Even the guages in a set are usually not labelled! I recently tried Strings and Things but haven't had a response yet so if anyone has an idea that would be great! I tend to use nylons 20, 24, 28, 28 wound and 24 5th.

Guage 20 Nylon Strings
Hi! Can anybody help please? I have trawled the internet for guage 20 nylon strings and can't find ANY! Nylon strings are hard to find and Andy banjo used to sell singles but no guage 20s anymore. Where have they gone? .... as part of a set or on their own they seem the best to me for 1st and 5th string Classic playing, so any help would be great!

Ragtime Episode help!
Hello folks ... I hope you can help me. I'm having trouble with the Ragtime Episode tab I've got. I can't work out the fingering as it seems so fast! Do you pinch with the thumb and forefinger on the 2cnd bar or use the ring finger to maintain the speed?? I'm used to rolls on bluegrass and knowing how the fingering works but I really can't figure this one out. I don't expect to be as good as Rob Mackillop and others but any help would be most welcome. Thanks in advance!
