If you play your banjo regularly you will probably notice your strings will start to get rusty. If you get to this point you need to change your strings! If you play every day you will probably need to change them once every 2 to 3 weeks. They are usually not that expensive, I just bought two pairs for my banjo for $7.00.
Also, you will need to tighten the "head" of a banjo. You know you need to when it doesn't sound right when you fret the strings higher up the neck. Simply take the screws off, turn the banjo and tighten the screws on the inside. If you can strike the string, press down on the head and it doesn't make a different sound when you do it, you've tightened it enough.
If you do all of these things reguarly you will always have a good sounding banjo.
