Overall Comments

I recently picked this up as a resource for banjo maintenance on my Mastertone. I already have the Janet Davis setup DVD but after numerous viewings of both and setups using both as guides, I find Huber's DVD far better with the following features:
- Steve spends considerable time discussing head tightness- How to thump test for head tuning, and comparisons of tight (A), recommended (G#) and loose (G) head tunings. That alone makes it worth owning this DVD.
- Excellent production. Picture-in-picture zooms for detail portions so you can easily see what Steve is doing, yet in tedious portions (like tightening hooks), it speeds up with a bit of pickin soundtrack. The camera work is very good and on par with Acutab's other well produced DVDs I have viewed.
- Steve is very good in his presentation- very clear and easy to follow.
- There are a couple cool extra features- of Steve and Sammy Shelor picking (seperately, not together).

Highly recommended
