My 1975 Keiths stay in tune for long periods of time.I sent them for reconditioning once in '08.It was great to talk to Bill on the phone for a few minutes.
If they didn't work superbly I wouldn't have kept them and used them all these years.
Concerning sticky slots I use StewMac slotting saws for nuts and bridge slots always making sure my round-bottomed slots are .002" wider than the strings.

I've had them on pretty much all my banjos for the last 50 years. Now, on my Bishline and my Gibson and use them when ever I can. They can be used in most songs and anywhere in the song and not just the songs associated with them, Flint Hill, Earls Breakdown etc. I started using them about 10 years ago when kicking off different songs and they will grab an audiences attention pretty quick. I tend to use the "B", second string more than the "G" but that's just me. If you have them play around with them in different songs and different parts of songs. The banjo is such an unique instrument to begin with, why not add another unique sound here and there in different songs.
