banjo tuning

Saturday, April 24, 2010

I bought a fender fb58 and have been playing a few months and have learned 5 or 6 songs and doing better all the time. I like my Banjo but it does not seem to have that mellow sound I've heard on other Banjo's. Is this just the model I have or can I set it up different and help it sound better. I have read some on setting up your Banjo, like a new bridge, head tension, how straight the neck is and other things. Also I was wondering if different strings  would change the sound. Is it better to take it and have a pro do it or is this something I can do myself.

I like lots of music but mainly bluegrass and classic country. I like the banjo and mandolin the most. I tried the banjo years ago, but my kids were young and I had a lot of other interest and give it up. My kids are now grown and gone and I am interested in giving it another try. I learned some rolls and chords but have forgotten a lot, but hope it will come back. So now I will look for a good beginners banjo and try again.
