"It depends on the actual banjo. I have used both 2 footed and 3 footed bridges on zither-banjos and I use what sounds best to me. Most zither-banjos need a very low bridge.  The revived.Clifford Essex company (which is now semi-suspended) has…"

"Thanks Jody its a short one i have.  I have a question more, hope you dont mind. What brigde to use for zither banjos?  best regards "

" 27 inches or more is long. 26 or less is short. In between, you decide.  I think you'll be fine with the 9 and 11 steel wire."

"Okay thanks i am not sure if it is a long scale, but i have been told that it is a windsor popular model. how do i determine if its a long or short scale? Best regards morten"

"It depends on the scale (length of the vibrating string from nut to bridge). For long scale like on a Cammeyer zb the gauges on inches are as follows:  1st and 5th string are .008" steel, the 2nd (b) string is .010, the third (g) string is…"

"Okay that makes sense, thanks. I hope i will work for me because its expensive othervise! Thanks again"

"No, the 25lb is for the 1st and 5th strings. The 30lb is for the 2nd string, and the 40lb is for the 3rd. For the 4th you need to buy a silver plated wound string of some sort (either nylon or silk). I recommend .024" for that string. "

"Is the 25 lb for the 1, 2 and 5 strings? "

"Okay thanks is lb the same as millimeter ?"

"25lb, 30lb, and 40lb. Make sure you get the Premier line ... the standard Seaguar fluorocarbon does not intonate properly. Also, be careful using these string on antique banjos, especially those with long scale lengths. "

"Hi Cohen could you tell me what thigness i have to buy, of the seaguar premier carbon fishing lines?"

"Thanks i will tjeck it out "

"Violin type friction pegs will be the lightest (and cheapest excluding fitting). I like the Richard Kuenstler pattern (pictured) that were made into the 1960s and are fairly easy to find.  These fit right into tapered holes. My third favorite…"
