Hello I have an old Banjo and it has problems, the neck is all one piece with the dowel rod, but thats just it, the rod has broken off at the neck. Some time in its existence someone managed to whittle down the dowel and add 5 nails to the neck and one big screw. The banjo has also had been converted to a 4 sting.
Is there anyway to attach the original one piece dowel rod and the neck? Or is it best to try my had at making a dowel rod. Or should i just scap the neck?
Just tell me what you would do!
