Expert Banjo Repairs
Banjos require a precise and knowledgeable hand to maintain their unique voice. Whether it's a fine-tuning of the head tension, a fret issue, or a more extensive structural repair, I approach every banjo with the utmost care and respect. My goal is always to preserve its individual character while meticulously restoring its playability and that iconic bright, resonant tone.
Understanding the passion players have for their banjos, I offer a completely bespoke repair service, taking the time to individually assess each instrument and utilising traditional techniques and high-quality materials to ensure precise, reliable results, getting you back to picking with confidence.
