Mr Clean
AKA Teddy Wong
Refurbished a banjo. It was in a fire and was not in great shape. Had the nut replaced, I replaced the tuning pegs, skin and bridge. All of the metal parts I soaked in CLR to remove the rust. Adjusting the bridge and the head was very much trail and error.
I tuned it to open G, and now starting to learn how to play it. This is an instrument you have to have a strap, it does not sit on the knee very well, despite what the songs says.

Nice to see an instrument brought back to life rather than put in the trash. Good luck with learning to play it, they're great fun. I've had mine for a while now and love it.
