Dear Banjo Bonnie. You are breaking your fifth string so often because you're learning to play in all keys without a capo and consequently you're tuning that one a lot. I used to have that problem, but now I don't. I only play in G now.(joke) Seriously, get yourself the high tech fifth string capo. I haven't busted one in years, and I DO play in all keys.Dear Mark. As you well know, strings only break at important times. Perhaps God hates you.
Dear Mark (second problem) Fire the band.
