I have about eight instruments that need to be set up before we ship them on Monday, so I decided to take advantage of the moment and film a banjo setup workshop.

In this video I'll go over changing a banjo head, stringing a banjo, placing the bridge and setting the neck angle.

At over 30 minutes, I had to seriously compress this workshop to get it on YouTube. For better quality versions - and information on ordering a banjo from us - visit http://tangiersound.wordpress.com/

  • Wow, thanks for sharing this with us Patrick! Question: How do you get a 30 min video on youtube?

  • I have a directors account. That means I can post videos of any length - but they still have to be under 100MB.
