Maybe I should post this in setup & repair but. I recently changed out the no knot tailpiece on my Reiter Regent to a Kershner. I like the sound but now am having issues with what I guess one would describe as over tones or string buzz? The amount of overtones is directly related to how hard I play. It is really annoying when fretting the first string on the fifth fret and thumbing the fifth string. I am using J61 addarios and 5/8 stew mac bridge that are stock for this banjo. I have tried adjusting the down pressure and do get some relief when I apply less tension or raise the tail piece adjustment. The head tension is around 88 on my drum dial.
Any suggestions what I but try to silence the unwanted sounds? thanks
