This banjo.....

....has a very unique Ludwig feature that allows the neck angle to be easily adjusted under full string tension (two screws, one on each side of the neck heel) even when weather or humidity change the tension of the head.

Thank you for pointing that out,I had forgotten about that.This is a loud banjo which served me well when I played along with a honky tonk piano at Happy Joe's Pizza years ago,lol.It was tuned what we called"chicago tuneing"which was same as bottom 4 on guitar.Lots of fun!
