Here’s a great article from the Deering Banjo Company. Deering has issued a challenge to novice banjo players and for that matter anyone who has not taken time to adjust or tinker with the head tension of their banjo.
Many novice banjo players are hesitant to adjust their banjos in any way. I spoke to one owner who had his banjo for 3 years and had never tightened the head. We hope this article will help you gain the confidence to work on your banjo head tension and find joy and power in the knowledge that you can do it – Carolina Bridges.
Read the article on the Deering Banjo Website.
Thank you for this information.
I will check my instrument and fiddle about (no pun intended..!!) to adjust the tension. G and G# eh..?
