The Butcher and the Banjo...
So I popped in to the local guitar shoppe and bought a set of strings...
but 'hang on there are five strings and I only have four tuners, and whaddaya mean "looped ends" instead of balls ???
All the replacement tuning sets for nylon string guitars have thick plastic capstons...
the only metals ons I have don't fit...

That thing is cool, worth bringing to life again.
How many strings did you end up putting on? This is some kind of six-string banjo-guitar originally right?
The banjo is a new experience to me... I see five slots on the nut, plus five places to mount strings at the rear, plus the strings come in a pack of five, yet there is a six stringed maching head...singemonkey wrote: How many strings did you end up putting on?

I managed to get five strings tuned in accordance with the YouYube guide.
Methinx I've won this round :-\
See I think someone put a nut on it for the number of strings they were playing, and possibly put a 5 string tailpiece on too. A five string banjo's fifth string starts at the 5th fret with a tuner sticking out of the neck - a pretty unusual situation for a stringed instrument.

Good day
Are you perhaps interested in selling your banjo?

What's the difference between a banjo and an onion?
Nobody cries when you cut a banjo in half! (Ok, its in poor taste, and I do love the sound of a well played banjo) ?
