Yeah Mallorn, copper is just something I had on hand that I figured I could work with. They should wear just fine using nylon (or B50  ;D) Wasn't ever going to put steel strings on anyways, my fingers are way too delicate for that haha. :P

zenmonkeyman:
Couldn't leave this topic without updating the sound of the banjo. I did a few tweaks to tension the head (wedges and rubber band - tensioned buttons), thinned the bridge a bit, and put nylon strings on. I think you'll be surprised how banjo-like this banjo sounds now.
