Purchased for a friend who wanted to refurbish his father's 90 year old banjo, He said he found it very informative particularly since he is neither a banjo player or a luthier.

  • Very informative
Format: Paperback
The book is a little dated, but that really didn't matter; my banjo that I just refurbished is old, too! It's quite detailed, and has invaluable information I used to reconstruct this old Silvertone banjo that I acquired through a friend. I really don't think I would have been able to put all the pieces back together (after an enormous amount of time polishing and cleaning!) to get this banjo back to playing condition. You can probably get a lot of this information online, but it would take some time, and you'd want to have your computer at the ready. I love having a good book of inforamation and diagrams right in front of me while I work. The writing is personal and folksy, and not too technical at all. Enjoyed it - recommended! ... show more

  • Banjo Repair
Format: Paperback
As a novice/ self taught picker, I think book is very helpful. Clearly explained and illustrated. Great when you don't live around the corner from a repair shop, or don't want to spend (or have) the money for what may be simple repairs or adjustments.

  • Zen and the art of banjo repair
Format: Paperback
It's old. The font looks typed. The pictures are black and white and feature folks with long hair smoking cigarettes in cutoff jeans. Yet it's the distillation of acquired knowledge and skill. Covers most all of the practical knowledge one needs to thoughtfully approach care and repair of banjos. Luckily they havnt changed much in the last 30 or 100 years. ... show more
