Description Brand: Wm. L. Lange Model: Style A Banjo Type: 4 String Resonator Country/Region of Manufacture: United States Number of Strings: 4
Up for bid is a Paramount Wm. L. Lange Style A Vintage Banjo.
This was given to me by a friend who bought it years ago. Im not positive
but I think its from the 1920's. The over all condition is very good, some little scuffs
and scratches, but it plays great!!! Comes in originals case which is in very bad shape. (See Picture 10-12)
(Bonus items included see Picture 9)A plectrum banjo, lest we forget, is a long scale four-string banjo that has 22 frets to the body,
and is tuned to open G tuning exactly the same as a 5-string banjo, except that the 5-string
has the extra, short, drone string. D B G D from the first string to the 4th string is the proper tuning.
There were five major brands of banjos in the 1920s and '30s - in alphabetical order Bacon & Day,
Epiphone, Gibson, Paramount and Vega. Each owner of each of these 5 primary brands considers
his or her brand to be the best, but of course they were all good.Please take a look at all the pictures If you have any questions please ask
