Additional Customer Comments
Dear Janet and Jim
I am a new customer from Canada. I ordered a new head (Huber- the thicker one )and some other new parts for my banjo including you 5 string banjo Set-Up and Maintenance DVD. After watching the DVD, I took off the old head and kept going! before you know it I had mu banjo completely dissassembed. I cleaned and polished everthing according to your DVD and patiently put it back together again. After tuning it up and positioning the bridge I strumed my first chord. I COULDN'T BELIEVE THE DIFFERENCE. The tone was warm and rich and the action was dramatically changed from about 5/16ths at the 21st fret to about half of that. it plays , feels, looks like a brand new banjo.
You really know what you are doing. Thanks very much for your help. I have never found the wealth of banjo lore and knowledge anywhere in Canada here. You are my first choice for parts, or anything banjo related. I would love to come and see your store sometime and maybe meet you.
Until then . . .
your new banjo friend

Hey, I got your banjo set-up DVD, and there were some great tips about set-ups on your video that Steve Huber never even touched upon in his video. Your video also made some points that I never heard of anywhere before, but they made sense. I'm very glad I own both now, as they complement each other.

By the way, your set-up video has been extremely helpful to me. Next time I'm in the Fayetteville/Bella Vista area, I'd love to see the shop and buy a few things. Thanks for your help. John L,
