ACTION TOO HIGH - WHAT DO YOU DO?
Check the bottom of the heel. If it is pulled away from the rim, 1.
see the section " e Loose Neck". If the neck won't pull tight
to the rim, the hanger-bolts are stripped. Hanger-bolts can strip
out if the coordinator rods have been cranked too tight. Seek
professional help.
Adjust the coordinator rod to lower the action. See the 2.
Coordinator Rod Adjustment Section.
If you have adjusted the coordinator rod within its limit, and the 3.
action is still too high, a factory authorized repairman will have
to reset the neck.  is should be necessary only if your banjo has
been tampered with.
ACTION TOO LOW - WHAT DO YOU DO?
Action lower than 1/8" is too low. Do not alter the bridge height to
change the action.
Tighten the head, if it is loose. A loose head will sag and create 1.
even lower action. (See Tightening the Head Section.)
Adjust the coordinator rod. See the Coordinator Rod Adjustment 2.
Section.
If this doesn't do it, seek professional help. 3.
