The banjo is stock except for the 11/16" Snuffy bridge and a Waverly tailpiece. The Waverly seems to help with note definition. Also, I like to keep the head as tight as I can get it. I prefer the tone to be as clear and hollow as possible and a tight head gets you that. This banjo is a real dream to play. People always comment on the tone.
