Thanks for sharing your expertise. I've got a antique banjo that I've had since I was a kid, but haven't played in 30 years. I'm gonna set it up again!
Thank you so much!! I just got home after buying a banjo from someone on Facebook and was really upset when then G string was out of tune with the rest of the strings and this video fixed that problem! Thank you again.
Found this video very helpful. Just bought my first banjo and it come with the bridge flat and had come confused lol
Thank you, found it very useful (yes, Russians also play the banjo)!
Great info here! Thanks much for sharing this.
God bless you for posting this.
This is a great instructional video! Thanks!
I found this very helpful. As a newbie, you can understand why I needed this 😅
Jake thank you for this lesson .
Awesome tech tip Ben.
Very helpful. Thank you😊
Thank you for saying it should lean toward the tail piece. That’s all I came here to find out. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great vid Thank You
How many banjo players does it take to tune a banjo? Five; one to tune it and four to complain that Earl wouldn't have done it that way.
Earl is a double C hipster
That's funny...
Where are you out of? And do you do set ups for other people
Nice. I accidently tipped over my bridge when I was going to play it and was like "oh shit, what do I do now". But this was a very easy method to set up the bridge 😀
Good info, liked and subscribed.
Great lesson, here in Brazil is hard to find a banjo luthier. Cheers!
Thanks for the help sad to say the second thing i did after getting the bridge in about the right place was break a string
Ben, could you please explain how to tie the knot for Classical Guitar Nylon Strings?
Thank You.
Great video thanks 👍🏴🥃
Who the hell has disliked this?! These are just facts!
Ha! There are some people that just don't like facts.
@@BanjoBen and thats a fact
I was looking for Tenor Banjo bridge set up because my bridge has a tendency to drop flat when your playing...like the 12th fret talk here and see but he is demoing on a 5 string, probably set up might be the same I guess
Jake is head tension important to obtain better sound on your banjo ?
I love the lowest possible action of strings, and like to sound louder. What i'm trying to ask is:
Which one is louder, strings closer or farther to the surface of the head so i can choose between setting the neck angle or lowering the bridge height (by sand down the foot of the bridge).
That doesn't affect the volume as much.
How do you cope with that dreaded 3rd string sharp problem that a lot of banjos have. Is it just bridge placement, or is a compensated bridge always needed to correct the problem?
I just bought one that came flat packed. Do I need to do anything with the string clamp at the bottom, or just leave it the way it came?
Thanks my neck came loose and I have to set up from scratch
what do i do if the tailpiece is pressed too far down and the strings, bridge come loose as well as the tailpiece?, please i need help with this
What about a 6 string banjitar? I have one and should my bridge be angled a little bit to lengthen the bigger strings or should it be at 90 degrees to the strings?
according to fender 1/16 of an inch for the bass string further down.
When you measure from the nut to the 12th fret, do you include the width of the nut itself in that measurement?
No, measure to the front of the nut where the strings make contact with the groove
@@BanjoBen Thanks very much
Where are you out of and do you do set ups for other people?
I've never set a banjo up in my life, but I'm curious. Would this, in theory, be the same for a tenor banjo? In GDAE tuning.
Yes, it would also be setup using this same process.
you didn't measure from the 12th fret when you set the bridge. You were at the 13th. Am I messed up?
When you are checking and saying it's still sharp, you said you chimed and noted it. I don't understanf chime and note. What is it you're doing?
We’re playing a harmonic then comparing that note to the fretted note in the same location, hope that helps!
You said you had to loosen the strings to be able to move the bridge. Then you said it has to be in tune. Which one is it?
Loosen, then tune ;)

Cant see what fks gng on.haha. is the in and over or slide in and on?
But way better than fenders vid.
Harmonics are NOT a way to check intonation as they will ALWAYS be in tune. It's when you fret it at the 12th fret. But thanks about the leaning of the bridge. I wondered about that.
Yep, that's what Jake says as he teaches to compare the harmonic to the fretted note.
First
Dang it! I was late. SECOND!
Banjo players spend most of their time tuning, the rest is spent playing out of tune.
Jake is head tension important to obtain better sound on your banjo ?
Definitely. The tension has tons to do with the sound. If you have a loose head it will sound dull or even dead. If too tight it will sound even a bit shrill. You just want the tension to be where the sound just pops out nicely, crisp and clean and not too bright. A lot of banjo pickers like to tune the head to G#. Hope that helps a little.
