Chris Cioffi did a amazing job on the set up on my RB 2 pre - war banjo , this was a free set up offered in Robin Smith suite at SPBGMA as a value added service .
Chris Cioffi is a very Talented luthier along with being a great person.
We all chase that Pre- War sound and i had it in my banjo and did not know it because the banjo needed work. I actually planned to sell this banjo. After the free set up this banjo woke up and the Pre-war sound came out ( I decided not to sell).
I can not explain in this review what Chris did to this banjo or the dramatic improvement in the sound.
All I can say is Chris Cioffi woke up a sleepy banjo and in turn woke up a sleepy banjo player .This taught me a lesson on the importance of a proper set and maintenance of your instruments.
Chris did an outstanding job and became a good friend.
Highly recommend.
