***THIS IS ONE OF SEVERAL VINTAGE OR ANTIQUE INSTRUMENTS FROM A COLLECTOR/HOARDER/PLAYER THAT WE WILL BE SELLING...ALL OF THEM ARE IN AS FOUND, AS DESCRIBED CONDITION...THIS ONE HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR OVER 25 YEARS***...THIS IS A RESONATOR BACK BANJO MANDOLIN ...
THE FINGERBOARD AND NUT ARE LOOSE FROM THE NECK...A FEW INNER BRACKET SCREW WASHERS MISSING, ONE SPOT THAT NEED A TOUCH OF GLUE ON THE RIM, SOME DISCOLORED BRACKETS, HOOKS, ETC. ...IT'S BEST TO COMPLETELY TAKE IT APART AND DO A PROPER CLEANING / REPAIR TO ALL...
THERE IS NO MAKERS NAME OR BADGE THAT WE CAN SEE...IT NEEDS SOME ATTENTION TO BE MADE PLAYABLE...THE FINGERBOARD AND FRETS NEED TO BE REDONE, AS WELL AS RESETTING IT TO THE NECK...THE LAST PIECE OF MOTS (Celluloid) ON THE FINGERBOARD IS MISSING...IT HAS WHAT IS MOST LIKELY THE ORIGINAL SKIN HEAD, IT'S 11 1/8" IN DIAMETER...SOME HOOKS, ETC., SHOW SOME RUST...THE TUNERS LOOK TO BE BETTER ONES FROM THAT ERA...THE BACK OF THE RESONATOR HAS A LOVELY FLORAL IMAGE THAT IS MOST LIKELY SOME TYPE OF STENCIL ARTWORK UNDER THE FINISH, BUT DONE WELL...THIS WILL MAKE A VERY NICE PLAYER IF DONE OVER PROPERLY...I SUSPECT THE UDJUSTABLE RAISED TONE RING ADDS VOLUME AND SOME PLEASING TONE TO THE INSTRUMENT...
