Can anyone recommend a place near cincinnati or dayton Oh where I can take my banjos to get top notch setups?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Hangout.

You might try the Bluegrass Musicians Supply in Columbus. If you don't mind a little drive, First Quality in Louisville, Ky.

Hey man,

The best guy to take your banjo would be Harry Sparks, I don't have his number on me right now, but he does some set up for JD and Sam Bush as I understand. Also Jeff Roberts teaches lessons and does some set ups. Let me know if you need more info.

I agree w/ RatLer...a trip to FQMS is worth the trip. But, if you're willing to travel just a bit further south to Glasgow, I'm told that a set up by Arthur Hatfield is a near religious experience . You'll need to call first for an appointment.

Arthur is worth the drive.
