The MOST IMPORTANT aspect of building or restoring a banjo is the manner in which the neck fits to the pot assembly, the manner in which the flange fits to the rim and the manner in which the tonering fits to the rim. If any of these are less than professional, your banjo will not sound right and a good setup will be impossible. I would LOVE to help you get your banjo project done correctly and if you are buying your parts from me, I can offer to do your NECK FITTING, TONERING FITTING and FLANGE FITTING, FREE OF CHARGE or at minimal cost. Contact me for details. I love selling parts and will offer my time and expertise to you in order to sell more and thus buy more to offer the banjo community. Please be assured that I am an honest seller of parts, I will not, as some online sellers do, try to pass off inferior parts as the genuine item. I like to buy and sell mostly Gibson Banjo related items. Please refer to the BANJO HANGOUT where I am a member in good standing under the name Lou Bourbon. I will stand behind these parts and I will never send you something that is broken (unless advertised as such) nor will I pass off low quality work as anything but the truth.
