Absolutely beautiful B&D Rhythm King N0.3 19 fret tenor banjo in absolute mint condition! Built in Groton, Connecticut around 1930 serial #27714 which dates it to 1929. The B&D Rhythm King series was the next model down from the Silver Bell series. These banjos are very comfortable to play, and perfectly suited for playing Irish Trad. Beautiful deep rich tone with punchy bass on the G and D strings, A and E strings are also pure in tonal sound. The action is low and the neck is straight all of the way up the fretboard. They are robust and you can play them hard and they will hold their tune and tone. Not too many around these days especially in this condition. The lacquer and nickel plating throughout is in new like condition. Video coming soon

Comes with hardshell case
