USPS just arrived today with my Pisgah. Man what a lovely sounding banjo!! I was curious about what bridges you all have tried on your possums. Also do you know if these are medium strings from the factory.

Thanks, Aaron

The I have two different sampsons each of which add a very small amount of bass resonance. IT all depends on what kind of tone you're looking for though. I have a heavy moon bridge which makes the banjo sound too bright and thin for my taste. You're good off just staying with the stock bridge unless you want a new one for aesthetic value.
