I'm Dave Bloxham from Northern California. Out here in the East Bay area banjo techs are pretty rare, so starting from the age of 12 I learned how to do everything on my own banjos myself. I've been to festivals meeting manufacturers and artists, and made a lot of contacts with many of the most prominent banjo builders in the USA, always armed with lots of questions. With these skills and knowledge I've applied to all kinds of stringed instrument repair, with refinishing as one of my strongest areas of expertise. For many years I've been a dealer of new and refurbished instruments and apply this to help others with their instruments, too. Follow my channel and watch how I get through problems and solutions for repair and set up on not only banjos but guitars and all stringed instruments. I'm planning on doing new things I've never tried before so be on the watch for my goof ups, too, but always- something to learn!
