No kidding. Anyhow, after you get tired of trying to trap a sasquatch, determine the last digit in pi, or figure out who actually killed JFK, you can take a look at the following: http://www.stellingbanjo.com/setup.htm . It's another setup guide on the Stelling website which has a lot of useful info for achieving the mythical goal of making any banjo sound better. The most interesting part for me is how to determine the proper bridge position. Tim Banjos can be tuned?!? No kidding.

Make sure you let the polish dry before rubbing it off. You can treat your fretboard when you change strings. Most music stores carry an oil for this. One word of caution. A little goes a long way....don't over do it! Also, if you have a maple fret board, DO NOT use lemon oil. You can use Zildjian cymbal cleaner to clean the metal parts of your banjo.
