GUEST,BanjoRay how far can you tune strings on a banjo? (35) RE: how far can you tune strings on a banjo? 24 Jun 09


Banjiman - the Round Peakers like Fred Cockerham would tune up for two reasons, I believe.
1. It is believed by some that a tuned up banjo sounds better than a capoed banjo (don't know about that)
2. The Round Peakers often use fretless banjos, where a capo is not really usable.
