Has anyone tried this with a Jameson 5-String Banjo with Closed Solid Back and Geared 5th Tuner? (I'm also looking at the Carrion C-2901 case.)

Fairly solid case but judging from my experience and other reviewers, there will have to be some adjustments made to the neck rest for a tailored fit unless you are just a fortunate person. Worth it, in my opinion.

I have one for my guitar, and it will hold the banjo nicely. I use a different one for my banjo, but only because my guitar sits better in this one.

My thunderbird fits pretty well in here but it still has room for a bit more length. The 5 string should not be that much longer but if it is, it still has room for it. Also the space for the headstock is open enough to fit the extra tuning peg. I would say get this case if you're looking to fit your bass

I bought a Musician's Gear Deluxe Hardshell Case, ans I am VERY pleased with it ! The case is plushly lined top and bottom, thereby protecting the banjo nicely all the way around. the case has a very nice appearance for taking to shows or just for your pleasure. The case also has three hinge locks on the outside of the case, to help protect the safety of your banjo. I paid $49.99 which I thought, I will be sending this back, but after actually seeing it I said this is what I need if I want my banjo to be taken care of properly. I would strongly recommend this case, I do not believe you would be disappointed. I bought a Musician's Gear Deluxe Hardshell Case, ans I am VERY pleased with it !

I use it on a banjo, there is a sticky side on the base, but it's not very functional. I rigged up some tape to keep it stable and the nodes. Not sure how it would work for a harp. The pick up itself works very great

Hi Kathleen...thanks for writing. Does the bridge on the banjo dulcimer look like the typical banjo bridge (like in this photo?) If it is a thin bridge like that, it definitely will work. If the bridge is thicker, like an adjustable bridge of an F model on a mandolin, then the mute would not fit. The opening on the mute fits the banjo bridge perfectly--so go by that; it slides on and off easily. I am very satisfied with this mute and it works really great--it 'stays put' too. Good luck!

They are a one size fits all design. The stainless steel is very stiff, so you'll need to bend them with pliars to get them to fit your fingers (either spreading them larger or compressing them). I didn't like using this for playing the banjo. I found the cutout for the pad of the finger would get hung up on the small gauge string. They worked better for dobro, but ultimately I went back to standard Dunlop picks. Maybe you'll have better luck than me.

I have this stand and I think it would work well for a banjo. It worked for my old Ovation guitar (which had the rounded back) and it works with my new guitar. The tongs might stick out a bit, but that would not hinder it from working well.

My banjo was set up almost perfectly from Amazon. All I did was adjust the bridge a bit back and forth +/- 1/2" to get close to intonation and then tweak it by moving the upper or lower part of the bridge so that after about 10 minutes it was perfectly intonated. BTW, it was packed very well from the factory/Amazon. I was very happy with my first decent banjo and probably could owned it for a lifetime, but as it is: so many banjos; so little time!

The banjo did not come set up with the strings & bridge in place. The delivery and packaging was excellent and it only took a few minutes to set up the bridge, tailpiece height, and string tension to my liking. I hope that helps! Good luck.

The banjo will not, at least not that I have found...the jet burner needs to be on fairly heavy otherwise it will leave soot. Tried to keep a small kettle on warm with it and it blackened it. The banjo probably would too, just don't use them on low. It is a great cooker, will hold a VERY heavy kettle and heat up quickly.

Yep. Most resonator banjos will have a way of detaching the resonator plate from the back as well.

Both mine (Carvin and Yamaha) are 5-string, but I believe the case would handle a 6-string (even with a wider neck) just fine.

Not sure of your positioning. I don't position like a guitar with the neck straight to the side. I sit the banjo between my legs, or on one of my legs, and play it with the neck angled up pretty high, which balances it better. I've noticed banjo players doing this, even with a strap - most angle the banjo up pretty high. If you google search "how to hold a banjo" you'll see lots of banjo players holding it this way because it balances the instrument.

My upright and three of my electrics are 5 String low B. The Snark SN-2 works great. Never tried the other Snarks. Don't know how durable it's going to be. But for the price it's worth it. The more expensive turners I own are various Korg models. The Snark SN-2 out performed them all. Hope this helps. Good luck.

I am pretty sure but not positive. I am using it on a banjo and it sounds great!

I've used it on a couple different banjo bridges. It works well with both. My teacher also taught me to use to wooden cloths pins on the ends of the bridge, which also works pretty well. The banjo mute is quitter but also a smooth sound. I'm sorry, don't know about a banjo dulcimer.
