    I just got a torrified LM-1 today and it's amazing. I can't stop playing it (I'm writing this with my feet, thank you very much). And it sounds EXACTLY like the torrified banjo in this video. If you like that sound, that is exactly what you will get from Warren. And it's LOUD too. Louder than some of my banjos with full size tone rings. Don't sleep on Yates Banjos

    I have one banjo that I am doing up. Is there any way of doing this without buying a 250 Au dollar device for what is probably a one off use?

    Great video. I’ve been working on my own stringed instruments (mostly guitars) for 40 years, and I wholeheartedly agree with everything you’ve stated. I also learned a few things too. Your diagrams and props are great. Nice work. All the best with your business. I’m going to check out your web site. Cheers.

    Yates banjos to my mind are the best sounding banjos on this planet, I say this even though I have never heard every banjo. I listen to Warren’s advice on anything to do with setting up banjos as he must be right being he is the greatest builder.
