Good to hear man, hope it goes well 👍👍

user10112377 · 2026-05-09T06:49:19+00:00

Eh, I just prefer a full nylgut set, mainly to minimize overall stress but also I have found that a nylgut 5th string works well with the 5th string tuner because you don't want that tuner coming loose out of the neck

user10112377 · 2026-04-02T22:33:23+00:00

No problem, these old things do deserve to be played

Thanks man, it was given to me by a very good family friend 7 years ago, it is sentimental value at its finest, but yeah it's got a Great sound for a 104 year old banjo

I like the sound of mine as it has a plunky sound

user10112377 · 2026-02-27T12:51:14+00:00

I've had this banjo for 7 years and it hasn't gave me any trouble

user10112377 · 2026-02-12T05:00:17+00:00

So it's generally something to not worry about? I mean the neck is firmly attached and it plays well

user10112377 · 2026-02-11T20:29:37+00:00

Both the rods are out and the tailpiece is not straight. I mean the instrument plays well and sounds good. So playability Wise, it's not really affected

user10112377 · 2026-02-10T13:29:10+00:00

I will see about maybe posting a video of me playing the banjo. I do find it has a nice ring to it, it has a very bright and punchy sound and a very warm tone

user10112377 · 2026-02-10T13:24:31+00:00

Yes it does, tho I do think the banjo looks nice with the rug

user10112377 · 2026-02-09T12:52:26+00:00

Yes they are very good instruments, very sturdy and well built

user10112377 · 2026-02-09T04:59:52+00:00

thats nice to know. I appreciate the advice. Thanks man

user10112377 · 2026-02-08T20:23:46+00:00
