    I several times changed my Sierra’s head without removing the neck.

    Extremely well-explained with not a superfluous word. Method of approach and didactics excellent. One feels like an expert after hearing and watching Chad but once.

    A very, very encouraging and profitable video.

    This is a very informative video! Thanks so much for the time you take with these videos, making them easy to follow along with and accomplish getting the old partner (the banjo) back sounding like new. Although I don’t own a Deering banjo, I find all the tips and information so helpful as well as the folks at Deering. The lady who helped me find parts for my old 70’s banjo was so nice even though it was not her brand. Great folks and great job David! At 70 years old I’m playing my old partner again.
