The Bacon and Day company are universally known for their craftsmanship and exceptional build quality of prewar tenor banjos. The Silver Bells in particular have exceptional volume and cutting power and very much sought after by the Irish banjoist. This particular banjo has only arrived at the shop and is being polished and setup for trad playing.  The neck is perfectly straight and action is very low, and plays in tonal perfection up the fret length. As you can notice with the extended fretboard the heel starts at the 17 fret so it has a short scale length and very easy to play.
