My Sullivan Festival Deluxe was starting to sound a little sickly. I took it to John for a professional set up. Wow what a difference it made. I had no idea it could sound that good.
John took the time to go completely through the banjo and check every component. He raised the action and replaced the bridge which improved it up the neck.
I would recommend taking your banjo to a professional to have them set it up. If you can get it to Mt. Airy John will take care of you.
