How do I adjust the Banjo matrix?

You can adjust the Banjo nut using several simple hand tools and a lot of patience. Start by making accurate measurements of the height of the sleepers on the Banjo neck. Once measured, arrange a set of Feeler to this height and then add another very thin meter to the top of the tank. Using a small file, the chain grooves in the Banjo matrix can be deepened to allow the strings to drive closer to the banjo neck. You need to determine how close you want your chains to be on the matrix, in relation to the sleeper, without buzzing. This makes it difficult to play the tool and after a short time of playing can leave sore fingers. High settings are normally done to prevent the buzzing of a sleeper associated with a matrix, which is too close to the height of the sleepers. Many music stores offer professional settings of new purchases; But you can do it yourself with the only less effort and a little patience. The key is to work slowly when performing frequent measurements and test tuning for each position of the chain that is being worked on.

is the key to perform accurate measuring the height of the fret; This is the height from the fingerboard to the upper part of the wire sleepers. Once measured, a set of meters is placed on the fingerboard directly behind the nut. You will have to decide on the next height you want your strings to set over the top of the sleepers, and place the meter to feel the top of the stacked meters.

Start by removing one string from the groove in the Banjo mat and start a small file via the groove at right angles to the inclined Banjo head. Once the file guides contact with the meters of the Feeter, stop serving and inserting the string back into the groove. Tighten the string while listening to any grades of Fret Buzz. If you are satisfied with the new Banjo chain action, continue to serve the remaining grooves in your banjo matrix to the same depth. It is important to remember this process on the fifth chain matrix.
