Subject: Cleaning & Polishing Banjo
For those of you who helped me in the Five String set-up thread, thanks.

I over tighetened the head, so the good news is now I have it apart and can get at all those places that are hard to get at when she's in one piece.

The banjo is an Aria Pro which is a Mastertone copy. It has a very intricate inlay on the fretboard. A pro banjo player that I know uses lemon oil on the neck, resonator and Fretboard. Any thoughts on this, I want to enhance the fretboard, but I sure don't want to damage the inlay.

As far as the Chrome parts go, would SOS Pads do the trick or is there a metal polish that might work better?

Thanks again pickers.

Steve
