Hi all beginner player here. I’m learning the tune Snowdrop and I’m having trouble getting the bar chords to really ring on my Deering Artisan Americana. I have a Snuffy Smith.656 Crowe bridge and Earthwood frailing strings. I can get a good ring from my Goodtime banjo which has lighter strings and a standard bridge. I’m wondering if it’s the string gauge or bridge height causing the muted sound on the Americana. Any thoughts appreciated!
Swap the bridge with the one on your good time and see what happens.
Yes thanks that’s easier than a string change!
