Post subject:  Custom-built banjo is out of tune on the upper notes

A reader writes:
I have been playing for years and decided to build my own banjo. Well 5 months later I have a beautiful 5 string bluegrass banjo, with a lot of help from the internet . My problem is that I carefully tune it and I check the notes up the neck and they are all out of tune by about half tone. Any suggestions to set it better?

Thanks for getting in touch.

Have you placed the bridge the way I specify in this article?

MOST banjos need this adjustment.

Let me know if that doesn't help.
