I have broke 2 different string when trying to change from on tuning to another. Had the banjo tuned to standard tuning Open G tuning g D G B D and wanted to tune is to Open C tuning g C G C E. when tuning up from D to E I break the string. I need to mention that I have a marriage saver (Mike's Banjo Mute) on. What I am trying to figure out am I breaking the strings because of the marriage saver of do I have the string tuned to high. I think I already answered my question, but for the heck of it I will post it anyway. (I think it is the marriage saver). Maybe I should remove it before retuning any of the strings.
