Thread Name: 5 String Banjo - with high G on opposite side?
Subject: RE: 5 String Banjo - with high G on opposite side?
but can anyone tell me how the strings are laid out on a left handed banjo which is the one thats nearest to the 5 string,you see it would be easier to play if the nearest string was no 1 string but i suspect its no 4 string.
would it matter if the strings were changed round?I know you are not suposed to do this on fiddles because of the sound post position,but on a banjo you have a floating bridge?so could i change strings so that no 1 string was next to 5 string,would the banjo feel like a right handed banjo ergonomically or would the balance be wrong?
