Subject: RE: Tech: The Curse of the Banjo's Second Fret

I agree with points made regarding bridge height and nut etc.
However, from over 60 yrs of playing and occasionally making banjos, I agree that this can be a problem.
I suggest you stop using an electronic tuner and try adjusting till it sounds OK. May need a bit of tweaking for different songs or tunes, but it has always worked for me.
