flossie suvara Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Don't know of any local banjo specialists, but what type of tuning pegs does the banjo have? If they are friction pegs, then try applying powdered chalk to the outside of the peg and the inside of the hole - it may improve it's grip.Hope that helpsFlossie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
