I am wondering about the idea of trying to install a dowel stick myself , with the knowledge that the instrument isn’t worth investment of money.
I picked t up at a flea market a year or so ago because it looked interesting as wall art and possibly would be playable.
A new head helped somewhat.
I had advice from Bob Smakula fretted instrument shop in Wv and he predicted mission creep would occur and that it wasn’t worth t unless there was sentimental value. (There is not)
So before I relegate it to “wall art” I thought to debate with you all the idea of me attempting to create and install this dowel stick.
I only could find banjo tutorials on YouTube not one with a banjolin specifically
.
It might be properly called a mandolin banjo due to the 8 strings.
What say you ?
