String Height

Correct string height is crucial to prevent fret buzz and maximize playability. The string height is measured from the top face of the fret and the bottom face of the string.

2.Measure the string heights at the 22nd fret. The string should be 9⁄64" above the fret. Note—The 22nd fret is the closest to the banjo body.

3.Turn the coordinator rod to adjust the string height as shown in Figure 19. Note—DO NOT adjust string height more than 1⁄16". This may cause damage to the banjo rim.
