I will receive the Aria Pro Banjo that Charcloth made available. As it will be my first "serious" (tone Ring), Banjo I was thinking of taking it in to be professionally set up. However, I have decided that for the time being I'm not going to spend any more on it (I'm afraid to see the shipping bill). I had asked Charcloth if he ever had it set up and this was his reply:

...I had her set up twice before & had the frets dressed up once. My set up was for frailing & yours may be different. The two times they set up it still wasn't quite to my liking, but I kept it capoed at the second fret & in Double C tuning...

I guess my question is, is there anything that I should be aware of in set up if I am trying to get the Scruggs style Bluegrass sound. Would his set up guy have done anything to try to get more of the frailing sound?

Thanks in advance.
