About the Banjo
Possibly one of the finest sounding banjos ever made and as rare as hens teeth to own. This has been my own personal banjo for over 15 years and I am now offering it for sale. It was built in 1928 and has the serial number ‘6838’. I have enjoyed playing this one over any other banjo I have owned, so why am I selling it? Well I now own 2 so one has to go!
The banjo comes with a quality new deluxe case but if preferred I have the original vintage case which is in good condition. The banjo has of course been stripped down and every part hand polished and set up with a new clear Remo head. The tone from this banjo is amazing, it has an incredible power and volume, the best instrument for traditional Irish Music.
