Using your Washburn B9 banjo is a breeze. First, tune it up using the die - cast tuners with pearloid buttons. You can use a tuning app or a tuning fork for accuracy. When you play, rest your arm on the chrome armrest for comfort. To keep it in good shape, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove fingerprints and dirt. Check the strings regularly and replace them when they start to sound dull. For the hardware, a little bit of chrome polish can keep it shiny. If you're not using it for a long time, store it in a proper banjo case to protect it from scratches and dust.
