 LOTS OF GOOD INFO Mar 11, 2008
This is a book every banjo player should own. The author is very qualified as a musician and luthier. His instructions are easy to follow and the photos, drawings and illustrations are very helpfull. My only gripe is that more visual aids would be nice. Probably a DVD would be the iceing on the cake. I feel that I got my money worth from this book.

All you need to know Jun 27, 2007
Great book! Logically laid out, easy to read and understand and, most importantly, easy to refer to later and find the detail you're after. I applied some of the set-ups described and now have a much better sounding banjo - and I understand why.

banjo man May 24, 2007
I play 4-string banjo and this is mainly about the 5-string, however, the majority of information is still relevant. Mr Siminoff has set the standard on how to produce a worthwhile book on how to look after, and more importantly, how to set up a banjo. Thanks, a treasure, and is referred to often. Regards, Jack, New Zealand.

Siminoff - Best Source for Banjo Set-Up! Mar 11, 2007
This book will not only help you get the absolute best sound from your banjo, it provides enough technical information on the physical attributes to enable you to understand WHY. Roger can get as detailed as anyone wants, yet is able to make everyone understand the inner and outer workings of this fine instrument! I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to make their banjo produce all the rich, clear sound it is capable of.
