Possibly one of the finest sounding banjos ever made. This is the 22 fret plectrum version which is mostly preferred by the jazz enthusiast but of course a capo can be used to make it a 19 fret version. It was built in 1930 and has the serial number ‘5740’. The banjo comes with a original vintage case in good condition. The banjo is in immaculate condition both gold plating and woodwork. The tone from this banjo is amazing, it has an incredible power and volume.
