Starting with an overview of the instrument, the book then proceeds with detailed instructions on set-up and repair, Novices will not be threatened by the contents; experts will not be offended.

Not only is this book packed with info on banjo repair, the author gives the best (but brief) explaination of equal temperament I've read. This book is a gem!

I bought a used banjo and wanted to have a resource handy in case I needed to make any repairs. This book is very comprehensive and easy to follow. Great reference!

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.

My wife purchased this book in hopes that I would be able to do some simple adjustments to her banjo. I am generally able to tackle any handyman task but I found this book to be written to the expert. Be advised it is not helpful to the average person wishing to do simple things like change strings, adjust the banjo head etc.

Being a professional musician and interested in preserving our musicial history in all areas Larry Sandberg's book " Complete Banjo Repair" falls on that must have list. No matter what you play ( or sing ) it is complete in every detail. I say buy it now. It is just an excellant book showing how to attach a subject.

Excellent service by Book seller. Very, very good value because there is no way to determine that this was a used book. It was as good as New.
