@rocknroller912 Thanks for all that information, I don't see any name on the banjo at all. I'm waiting for screws to arrive to put the tuners back on, then I'll have another look at it.

@robin If the banjo has a makers name it’s a good idea to google check it first in case it’s a valuable antique. The string action sounds high and reasons for this could be: 1. the neck angle to the b...

Posted by: @robin Exactly the kind advice I had expected from you, but still funny though. 😉

@rocknroller912 Ive done a few banjo repairs and do have an Irish tenor banjo so if you want to run the problem past me I might have a solution. They are not nearly as complicated as guitars. On t...

@tv101 So, I googled "banjo repair kit" to check out what's currently recommended. Hope this helps. Exactly the kind advice I had expected from you, but still funny though.

My daughter's friend's dad has had this EKO 12 string acoustic since 1976 and it's been in its case in is attic for the last 30 years. He dug it out recently and wants to play again. When he went to r...

I'd be very wary of trying to remove the JOE label. Danger of damaging (splitting) the top of the guitar - you don't know how dry it's become after 30 years in a case in the attic - plus I'd have thou...

Posted by: @robin The bridge appears to be pop riveted on rather than glued. So I'm thinking just remove the saddle and fill the crack with superglue and clamp it closed. Any advice before I dive in....

Posted by: @robin He's also asked me to remove name label which look like self adhesive aluminium plates Hi @robin I saw this stuff from Stewmac. 🙂🎶🙏🎸
