might be for the fifth string since a normal 5 string banjo the fifth string starts at the fifth fret? Nechville banjos has a model or two with a tunneled fifth string

Thanks for the response. That isn't a wire sticking out of it. It is a piece of plastic I stuck in the hole to show the location.. There isn't any spot for a tuner peg off to the side there. I did see a pictureof one that had a peg off to the side tho. Thanks so much. My quest continues. peace , amber

How many tuners on peghead? If there are five, then that's where the 5th string goes.

Hooray!! I finally saw the lightbulb. duh! o.k. I've got it now. yes, there are five. so the string attaches at the bottom, goes up, into the tube, out the upper tube and to the first tuner peg. That is why there are five string slots at the bottom and only 4 on the neck. that 1 by passes the slot,... o.k. o.k. I got it. Hey, thank you for your response and patience. I think it;s getting thru to me now.
