    Are 5 string banjos wound?
    Only the 4th or B string on 5-string banjos is usually wound. (Long-neck 5-string banjos often have wound 3rd and 4th strings as do tenor and plectrum banjo string sets due to the greater tension needed for the flatpicking style used on them.) Wound strings may have either a round or a hex-shaped steel core and are almost invariably roundwound.
