IMPROVING BANJO SOUND
The banjo, more than any other stringed instrument, must be correctly adjusted to bring out its
best tone. Each adjustment is important to the overall sound of the banjo.
If your banjo doesn't have the sound it once had, you'll find this checklist helpful in restoring its
original life.
• New strings
• Hardware tight, no rattles
• Neck tight to the rim
• Head tight
• Tuner screws tight
• Bridge in place
• Tailpiece set
• Tuned to pitch
In addition to banjo adjustment, personal ability has a lot to do with banjo sound. The more you
practice, and improve your playing, the better your banjo will sound.
