The purpose of the Banjo Setup Web Pages is to gather and disseminate information on the subject of banjo construction and setup with the goal of discovering and teaching the various ways to produce different sounds from banjos. The material is here so that people who want a specific sound from their instruments may find ways of achieving their goals. Information is gathered at my own expense and is distributed freely. Ideas are welcomed. If there are proprietary details of a method, system or principle, they are respected and not distributed without permission.
