A Musical   Instrument  Set Up  is   much more  than merely 

taking  an instrument out of the box or case and tuning the

strings. Whether Banjo, Mandolin, Uke, or other string instrument, a professional set up brings out the best in the instrument. A  quality  Set - Up Job  is  to   regulate,   configure,   balance, harmonize, synchronize, optimize, and calibrate   all  the factors  involved  with string  height, finger pressure, playability, harmonic accuracy; at every fret and/or position, neck and fingerboard straightness, and overall performance of the instrument.

 

A Bluegrass instrument - Banjo, Mandolin, Ukulele, Dobro, Dulcimer, etc.  is set up best with a combination of precision measurement tools, continuous play testing throughout the process, and an expert-experienced eye and ear to make visual and audible calculations that mix in with the other evaluations for perfection in optimal play-ability, harmonic accuracy,  and or personalized style. 

Having worked on thousands of instruments over many years, has allowed this perspective to be utilized on all the set-up jobs we do. Our ideal is to give you the best performance, tone and playability possible for  your instrument.
