For those of us with an interest in banjolas and in exploring the limits of what these fine instruments can do.

I have had a banjola now for about two months and love this instrument. However, I feel the action is too high on my Gold Tone. I have never changed strings on it, so I do not know if the bridge is glued onto the face of the instrument or is just held on by the strings. If it is held on by the strings, I'm sure I could reduce the heigth of the bridge. Of course, the other option would be to adjust the truss rod. The neck looks straight and does not bow up or back, so there may be some adjustment there. Has anyone here had to adjust the action on their banjola and what would be your recommendation?
