Using your Fender Paramount PB - 180E Banjo is easy. First, make sure the banjo is in tune. You can use the chrome die - cast tuning machines with pearl buttons to adjust the string tension. Once it's tuned, hold the banjo with your right hand (since it's right - hand oriented) and start strumming or picking the strings. The comfortable neck profile and the snowflake - inlaid walnut fingerboard make it a pleasure to play. When it comes to maintenance, keep the banjo in a dry place to prevent the wood from warping. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove dirt and sweat. You can also use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body and the hardware. If you're not using the banjo for a long time, put it in the included gig bag to protect it. Be careful when handling the banjo, especially the delicate Fishman® electronics. Avoid hitting or dropping the banjo as it could damage the parts. And always check the strings regularly for signs of wear and replace them when needed.
