Head tension

From Matthew Wyatt on 8/17/2012 4:55:35 PM

I tweaked the head today when I noticed I was not tuned to G# but G. With just a little tap tune my banjo come alive and now vibrates my chest when I hit the fourth string. It is hard to play it now without smiling. It kind of tickles when it hits just right!!

I never tune my head. Does it make as big a difference in the power as you say?

I believe it does. I don't tune my banjo head very often though. I generally give it a little tap tune check and it is good. when it starts to go flat though it is time for a tweek. Not much, just enough to get back where you like it. Set up is key.
