I have an American friend living in France that needs some banjo maintenance. He has loose 5th tuner and wants a skin head installed. The two towns of any size near him are Montauban and Toulouse. Any body know of a banjo mechanic, professional, or skilled amateur, that can do minor work to a Wildwood banjo?
I send banjo parts to France frequently, so there must be a few folks that have a knack to do some banjo puttering. And hopefully their English is better than my friend's French!

Hi Bob
A quick search of the members list reveals no less than 15 Hangout subscribers in Toulouse!
Haven't yet checked Montauban.
Perhaps your guy could reach out to one of these French players through the Hangout (in English).
Update. 1 member in Montauban.
Regards
Harry
