I once heard banjo player explain how to set the head tension on a banjo. Just tighten it, he said until the head splits, then back off a quarter turn.
HAHAHA!! 🤣
Kelly, you always go the extra mile to be helpful.
Thanks Therese! Your comments always make my day!!
It seems to me that this is a subject that's often overlooked and it's good that you have addressed it.
Thanks Christopher! It's funny how we hear so much about changing strings to alter sound but not so much about this when it comes to banjo ukes.
Very interesting- I thought I would prefer the warmer tone but they both sound great, really nice instrument. Thanks Kelly!
Thanks - ya the cool thing is being able to hear the difference of one versus the other. Its nice to be able to adjust to get the sound you prefer!
Thanks!! I am definitely liking less tension. I will be adjusting my banjolele.
Hey Tara! Glad you enjoyed it! It's great to be able to get your own personal preference for sound. Enjoy!! Kelly
Hi I liked 2nd one.
Hey Mary! Me too - just the right amount of "twang"!
Wow. I like both sounds. I don't think I'm ready to mess with the head tension yet. How she came from the factory is fine for now.
No sense messin' with it if you're happy the way it is! Play on!! 😊
Thanks!
No problem Steve! Glad you liked it!
Great work Kelly! Very helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it !
Hello! I really like the instrumental you played during the comparison, may I please know the chords? Thanks!
Hi there - thanks! Take a look around 4:56 in the video and you'll see a link pop up at the top of the screen for "The Leaving of Liverpool". Click on that and it will take you right to a tutorial video I did in how to play the song. Hope that helps! Kelly
@@fourstringstrummer I appreciate it! I recently got a banjolele, been wanting to play songs on it after training on the uke for a month.
