Orpheum Tenor Banjo tuning peg question

Thursday, December 15, 2016

Hi, I inherited a Orpheum No. 1, Tenor Banjo from my grandfather.  (Serial # 724833, Wm. L. Lange)  I had it set up at a music shop three months ago.  My problem is that I can't get in tune.  It is usually a little flat or a little sharp and I have to tighten the peg screws every couple of weeks.  Does it need shimming or new pegs?

I inherited my Grandfather's banjo this year. I've been learning to play since I got the instrument and want to learn more!
