Using your Gold Tone AC - 5 banjo is easy. First, make sure the strings are properly tuned to GDGBD. You can use the geared tuners to adjust the pitch. Hold the banjo with the neck in your left hand (or right if you're left - handed) and use your right hand to pluck the strings. For a punchy sound, try plucking the fourth string with a bit more force. When not in use, keep the banjo in the included padded gig bag to protect it from scratches and dust. You can also opt for the HD15 - M hard case for extra protection. Clean the strings regularly with a soft cloth to maintain good sound quality. Check the truss rod periodically to ensure the neck is straight. If you have any issues, refer to the one - year warranty for support.
