I just recently purchased mine a few days ago and I'm experimenting with head tensions, etc. I'm open to suggestions on setup ideas that have worked well for you guys. Currently I have a new Remo weatherking on it with a snuffy smith 5/8 compensated bridge. I'm trying to get the coordinator rods back in neutral after I broke it down and cleaned it, but this system is slightly different than my Huber. It's tight right now and seems a little choked but I think there is a lot of potential in this banjo once I get it setup right!
