  Banjo Servicing

Is your banjo sounding like it should. Banjos will need a periodic set-up to keep them playing at their best. If you can’t carry out this work yourself then this is what I do best. Just drop me a quick email and I can arrange a time slot to setup your banjo. Typical setups will include

  • disassembly for cleaning & reassembly including resetting/replacing the head
  • Changing strings
  • Action height
  • Bridge slots
  • Nut slots
  • Fret conditioning
  • Tailpiece position/condition
  • Loose hardware

If you are on the lookout for something different I have a few vintage tenor banjos for sale. I may also be interested in trade-ins against a vintage banjo I may have for sale, click on the photo
