    I just changed my strings for the first time by following this video. Thank you! My banjo sounds so much better. My original set of strings had way to many hours on them.

    WHEN YOU START TO WIND THE STRING IS IT ALWAYS RIGHTY TIGHTY AND LEFTY LUCY OR DOES IT CHANGE FOR WHICH SIDE OF THE PEG HEAD YOUR ON. THANKS TOM

    Wanted to add, too: (Perhaps this was in a post that I missed) about reading these tuners. I run into beginner players who don’t know how to read them, or don’t know they have a “sweet spot”, a place on the peg head where they pick up the string vibrations best. Even a fraction of an inch one way or the other and you can get erroneous readings, or even no reading at all. Sometimes you have to experiment!
    Tx again for all the great info and fine instruments.
