Old Fretless Banjo (cont)

I bought some D'Addario Pro Arte classical strings, which you can buy separately (you needs two 'E's, plus a 'B' a 'G' and a 'D'). And I didn't have to do any reaming or filing as the strings all sat OK on the nut, and went into the peg holes (just). I did have to cut a piece of cork to support the tailpiece pillar at the back otherwise it would be probably end up bent. The bridge I had had the slots too close together for frailing (your fingers get tangled up) so I adjusted another one. All in all its not bad and its a pity its not mine!
