  • Re: Tailpiece Stability
    I remember when I got my Deering Sierra. When playing it one day all of a sudden it was out of tune. Couldn't figure out why it got so out of wack all of a sudden…
      Well the tailpiece was floating above the ring on the head… I'd gotten in the habi…

  • Re: bridge question
    Anyone else dish the bottom of their bridges? I do. Even with my head tension at 91, I can still tell when a bridge dips in the middle. To date, I still have never played a banjo, or even seen a banjo, that didn't have a dip in the top of the bridge… o…
  • Re: How to properly string your tuning pegs
    My biggest fear has always been that I'd cut my strings too short… so usually end up with apparently way too many wraps…and a knot too. 

    It's good to see an easy way to lock it in and not have to put 5 or 6 wraps on it…

    Thanks

    That's what I was trying to say Dean, Well said.  You may not have snow, but your command of the word makes up for it.
  • Re: How to properly string your tuning pegs
    3 wraps, one over two under, no lock, for me. When a string breaks at a show, I want to be able to change it fast. Fighting with a locked wrap just once cured me of that style forever. In 35 years of guitar and 10 years of banjo,  I've never had a stri…
  • Re: bridge question
    There are several very good bridge makers out there.  And I have no alegiance to any one for any certain reason, other than to have the best sounding banjo I can get.   

    And no matter who you choose, tell them what you have for a banjo, and the change …

  • Re: How to properly string your tuning pegs
    I just wrap one round above the leader end when tightening, and then back over and down the shaft while still turning.  It pinches the leader and nothing moves.  Like this video [ftp=ftp://www.deeringbanjos.com/blogs/banjo-maintenance-tips/9569487-how-…

  • bridge question
    I keep the Hondo beater downstairs to noodle on and the Epiphone upstairs to actually play on.  After noodling on the Hondo, I find that I like the up the neck action better than on the Epi.  The Hondo has a no name 1/2 in. bridge and the Epiphone has …

    I have a winder but it's not like either of those.  It's plastic & has the part that fits over the key and a handle that you crank.  It makes it a lot faster to change strings.

    Bone and blood and stuff like that..
    A brain that's clever, and a heart that's pure,
    But boys are made out of boogers, for sure

  • Re: $$
    That's true Mike, it's just stuff.  That's one reason I sold off the instruments that I never played.  I'm set good for instruments now, will last me a lifetime.

    I've been through that, like in the video.  Buying parts and straps and picks and stuff.  …
