10 year old Tadeo on his first build

Great job Tadeo, Well done on Dads banjo too.

Head piece ready for staining. Complete with inlay. Attachment 6314
Thanks the banjo is coming on great.

Attachment 6315ready for final coat.

well done Tadeo the headstock and inlay looks great. Also the banjo coming along nicely well done

Almost finished. Any advice on where and how to place the string retainer.

Hi Tadeo, so its a JB-4M hey, you need to fit the tuners, assuming the neck is screwed on and the bridge is screwed in place. Put the strings on.
Assuming the retainer is a round one like the picture attached, place the retainer about the same position as the photo between D and G strings (bottom 2 strings) and when the strings are in a straight line to the nut drill the hole and screw it in. You may have to release the tension on these strings.
Please post a pic once it's done

Thanks. Having trouble posting pics.

There is a little wire in the bag. What is that for?

I'm thinking its solder.

Hi Tadeo, yes the thin wire dull silver colour would be solder. Have you done the soldering of the wiring ?
You might need your Mum or Dad to help you resize the photos to upload, they have to be under 1mb in size and under 1500 x 1500 resolution. Be great to see how the build is looking
