Spartacus new tenor banjo - any tips? (23) RE: new tenor banjo - any tips? 19 Mar 02


Everyone... Thanks for your help. I did a little research last nite, and I have an "M" style vega stamped banjo, dated around 1922-1935. It does have the "tu-ba-phone tone ring". I was up until around 3:00am playing around with different tunings. I tried some of the AEAE and ADAD tunings, but the neck and the old tuners wouldnt' really take it. I think I had the most fun with the standard CDGA tuning. Ok..last question...what (if any) effect does the adjustable screw on the support rod under the drum have on the neck. Does it have any purpose other than to keep the rod in place?

Thanks again,

Spartacus
