Checked out all the parts, no cracks or scratches. Started practicing some rolls. Does the banjo come with anything normally? I just got the instrument inside a case i ordered with it. Didnt get a wrench for head tightening or anything. Guess i'm used to having instruction booklets with things.

Enjoy your new banjo. You got a great deal on it too. The prices are so good from that guy I ended up buying another one for my uncle.

	DuncanK says: 3/14/2013 3:11:39 PM My RKR-25 came with a T-Wrench for head tensioning. I'd contact whoever you bought it from, they might have just forgotten to put it in the case.
	keroppilee says: 3/14/2013 3:26:46 PM Can I use a socket wrench instead? I have a set of those already.
	BanjoJeff says: 3/14/2013 3:38:10 PM Just be careful. Tighten in very small increments when you do. I would recommend getting a drum dial before you try tightening but that's not anything you probably need to think about right now.
	keroppilee says: 3/14/2013 3:39:15 PM yeah im not gonna touch the head for a while. it sounds in tune and i think i got the bridge in the right place. just thinking long term.

Banjopickinmonkey says: 3/16/2013 9:57:26 AM I agree with Banjojeff...a drum dial is a great tool for us newbies in banjo setup. I stripped my jo apart and put it back together using a drum dial and socket...i dont have a t-wrench either...and it sounds great.
