A good set-up of your banjo is extremely important if you want to get the highest quality sound.
Each

5-String Banjo

 is set-up to perfection before it is allowed to leave our shop. However, over time, different 

variables can affect the original set-up. It is good to check your new banjo after 5 or 6 months to see if it has changed.
After that, it is good to check it regularly twice a year. The most common variables that change the banjo can include 
any temperature changes from extreme hot to cold, or how it is stored and how much it is played.

TUNE YOUR BANJO

Use the Digital Guitar Tuner to get exactly the right note.

Tune as follows:

1st string D, 2nd string B, 3rd string G, 4th string D, 5th string G
Then you must fine-tune the strings.

Fret each string as follows:

They should each have exactly the same pitch as the 5th G string

1st string on 5th fret, 2nd string on 8th fret, 3rd string on 12th fret, 4th string on 17th fret.

Hot tip:

 

When you change strings, tighten each new string several times after the first tuning, pull it up from the fingerboard 
with your finger. This will help to stabilize tension on the tailpiece, bridge, nut and tuning peg and thus eliminate
problems with tuning.
