Need help with BANJO SET-UP

Eloy AZ

Description

I have a 5-string Banjo that needs some setup. I'm decent at setting up guitars and basses, but the banjo is a different animal. U-tube has been some help, but would rather have somebody that knows what they're doing teach me a thing or two. Neck has some bow and also some twist (ouch). It's playable, but being a lead guitar player, its nice to have an instrument that does what you tell it to do. Like to learn how to set head tension, best tuners to use, etc. etc. Don't know the manufacturer -- can send a pic if you want -- glad to pay something for the training and help. As a finger-picker, I'd like to get this instrument back on stage. A band is interested in me if I can add the banjo to my arsenal ( I also play guitar, bass and keys, sing and harmonise as well). HELP !!
