MAINTENANCE MANUAL

Now that you own a banjo, you will find that banjo maintenancePyle will become a big

part of you being able to enjoy your banjo. Just as a car needs maintenance, gas, and

the engine tuned up, so your banjo needs to be tightened up and adjusted.

If you were to play your banjo without doing anything to maintain it, you would find that

soon it would be losing quality ofits sound, rattling, and becoming harder to play.

Realize that your banjo is an instrument. It can't be left out in the sun, or in a hot car, or

taken out in freezing weather without it being damaged. If you want your banjo to keep

its value, you must maintain it. If you take good care of your banjo, it will last you a

lifetime and a be a treasure that you can pass on to future generations.

It isn't difficult to maintain your banjo, if you understand what needs to be done. There

are things that you need to do after each playing and things that only need doing every

few months, depending on how much you play. This maintenance manual will provide a

thorough outline of what you can do to keep your banjo as nice as it was the day you

bought it.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

1. The continued quality of your banjo is dependent on your daily efforts to maintain

it. It is best to develop a routine to do every time you put your banjo away. For

example:

2. Wipe the fingerprints and smudges off the metal parts with a clean cotton rag;

then run the cloth up and down the strings and fingerboard. If you don't wipe the

metal parts off, the acid from your skin will react with the metal and tarnish or eat

it away as time goes by. Keep a clean cloth in the case. (If you want a banjo that

won't tarnish, have your banjo Chrome plated, the Chrome is resistant to the

affects of the acid from your skin.)

3. Set your banjo in the case carefully so that you don't bump the fifth peg. After

several bumps the fifth peg might suddenly fall out.

The most important daily maintenance is to store your banjo in a hard-shell case.

This will protect it from being knocked around and insulate it against changes in

humidity and temperature.

CLEANING

Both wood and metal parts should be cleaned and polished every three to six months or more

often if needed to keep your banjo looking it's best.

FINGERBOARD CARE

To clean the fingerboard, rub it down with f , then with a clean cloth rub the oil into the ret cleaner

wood, not leaving any excess on the fingerboard.

If you notice grooves in your frets, this is normal wear and tear, however if it happens within a

year you may be pressing harder than necessary when you fret the neck and may be creating

more fret wear than normal. Try using a lighter touch.

FINISH

Waxing the finish of the neck and resonator protects as well as shines it.

Avoid commercial furniture polishes containing harsh chemicals or silicone which can eventually

ruin the finish. If you spill water or alcohol on your banjo, wipe it off immediately because it can

leave a cloudy spot.

HEAD

If you prefer a clean head, use "Formula 409" or similar cleaner and a white cotton cloth.

METAL PARTS

The metal parts have a thin layer of chrome called "plating," which can be worn off. You can

polish chrome parts with an automotive chrome polish, not cleaner, but it is easy to get polish

caught under the hooks when you do this. You can use a clean polishing cloth to wipe

fingerprints off daily without harming the plating.

EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY

The survival of your banjo depends greatly on the environment you put it in. Made largely of

wood, the banjo is easily affected by changes in temperature and humidity. It is important then,

that you take all possible steps to maintain your banjo at room temperature If you must take

your banjo out in freezing temperatures, keep it in case. When you bring it inside, let it sit in a

the case so that it can come up to room temperature slowly.

Humid weather increases the moisture content of the wood, causing it to expand or swell. A

gradual increase in humidity won't generally do permanent damage; but high humidity in

combination with high temperature can weaken glue joints or even open them up.

A skin head tends to expand or loosen when the humidity rises, and tighten when the humidity

drops, considerably affecting the sound of the banjo. For this reason, it is best to tighten the

head annually depending on the weather of your area.

Sudden drops in local humidity are the most dangerous weather changes for a banjo. You

should keep a case humidifier in the case.
