Donald Zepp is someone who would take the chance!

His point in the original video was that folks who play shouldn't be all that concerned with taking the fifth string up by a full step to A.

If you really want a banjo to have it's fifth string tuned up higher than an A then spikes are a good solution.

Some makers of custom banjos install the fifth string tuner at the 7th or 8th fret location, so that's also an option.
