Thank you so much. Im a beginner banjo player. Im so glad you showed me an easy way to restring a banjo safely.

THANK YOU !! Your close-up of the way to wrap and hook the string through the tuner finally made my job a lot easier;.

Tom, your explanation and close ups make all the difference.

First time I get to see a NECHVILLE close and personal,COOL

Really good video. Thanks for the help just got started.

Your "S" explanation made 'why' install clear. :)

thanks for this, it was just the ticket! Great Video :)

Thanks,love your Banjos ,wished I could afford one

love this video!

thanks! very helpful.

awesome video--thanks!

beautiful looking banjo....what's the hardwood tom?

Being a novice I have changed my strings the same as you from the inside to the outside of the neck on both sides . However I turned the tuning pegs to the top of the peg head on both sides. You turn the pegs on the first string side down toward the bridge and up toward the peg head top on the fifth string side. It made sense to me that to tighten the strings you turned all of them upward . Is there a reason to turn the knobs opposite ways on both sides of the peg head to tighten the strings?

I have a plate covering the strings idk how to remove to put new strings on.

Thank you

Tom what bridge do you recommend and the height

I like that you know the method of locking the string usimg the string tension itself, which is actually just as effective as locking tuners, except with just regular non-locking tuners. This was the method that Luthier John Carruthers taught me many years ago when I was a Luthier apprentice.

Where can I buy that shirt?

Your really good at r This

I know how to do this and I watched anyways because of the title. Just to make sure lol.

That I did. But without thinking I just turned the tuning knobs on both sides of the peg head to top of the banjo to tighten the strings. I understand the theory of all nuts and bolts turning the same way but it seemed logical to turn all the knobs to the top of the peg head to tighten the strings which gave me less to think about. Leave it to a novice to screw things up.

I STILL NEED HELP with how it goes exactly into the peg hole and how it stays there?

I have a 4 string banjo and the highest pitch string keeps snapping any ideas to stop it snapping

Play string rotates counter-clockwise, then tag end rotates clockwise half turn, then under play end. Lift up. Tighten play string. Play string rotates clockwise, then tag end rotates half turn counter-clockwise. Lift up under play string. Tighten play string. Deering explanation confusing, imo. Nechville better?

Using a tailpiece like an Oettinger that supports ball end strings is 1st and foremost. Loop end strings are junk.

Everybody's got one. Mine is that this is a tip for the player who has a string without that manufactured ball end. I heard one poor guy made his own instrument as a young boy even using some chicken wire stuff for strings. Kid wanted to play. Opinions like 💩 holes. Everybody's got one.

Wrong, Tom. A clipper should NEVER be used on the strings. I have been hooked too many times by clipped off strings. Simply bend them off and then there will be no pokey things at all.

I know you

I hate working on banjos so much, they suck in everyway possible. Just rip the neck off and beat on the drum, just to change the strings is an experience I'll never do again WTF it could be so much easier.
