How To Change Your Banjo Strings
Watch a great video with Chad Kopotic, the Deering Quality Control Manager, who will take you step by step on how to change your banjo strings.

Each Artisan Goodtime model showcases a proprietary Midnight Maple fingerboard, ornate Artisan-inspired inlays, and a beautiful rich brown stain that exudes elegance. Artisan Goodtime banjos are also equipped with planetary banjo tuners, allowing for precise tuning and exceptional performance.
Learning how to play the banjo is no different. There are different types of banjos and plenty of new terminology for parts of banjos and playing styles. Aspiring players also wonder what makes one banjo better than another.
Watch and listen to Deering artists play our banjos and choose your favorite tone!
All of our banjos are made by passionate banjo craftsmen and women in our Spring Valley, California shop.
Deering Banjo Company was founded by Greg & Janet Deering in 1975 and continues to be family owned & operated. Today Greg & Janet's daughter Jamie Deering is the CEO of Deering Banjos.
Deering makes banjos. We don't make other instruments. We focus on what we do best and do it at the highest level.

Thank you for the informantion as I have clocked up 260 on my orginal banjo as a new player and thought strings lasted until the broke. May explain why D7 sounds horrable and my playing sounds worse so has saved me from throwing the towel in regards to continue to learn.
Thanks for a very informative lesson…I have to get one of those winders…well done!
Thank you for video on changing strings! I have been playing banjo for 40 years and finally learned abetter way! Thanks!!!?
thanks for posting this video on changing strings. i will use this method to show my students. Thank-you again.
@Bruce Pritchard, thanks for sharing about Pat Enright and the need for safety glasses. I am always a little leery when changing strings and wearing safety glasses would have saved Pat’s eye.
Thanks to Chad and Deering for this very informative video, especially with regards to intonation. Usually, players have no idea why they sound out of tune up the neck nor how to perform such an easy task that makes such a huge difference in the overall sound of the instrument!
