Really nice vintage tenor banjo. Not only is this an amazing instrument, it's a piece of art and history. It has 19 frets, a nice straight neck, 34 inches in total length and has an 11 inch head diameter. Beautiful tree of life I up the fretboard. Amazing inlays and engravings around the banjo. All original except a brand new head, bridge and tailpiece. Recently been adjusted and is in perfect playing condition as well as sounding wonderful. Scratches and a few flaws, but nothing unexpected. Excellent condition for being almost 100 years old. Has a case that comes with it, but it definitely needs a case that fits it better. If you're interested and need to know ANYTHING, don't hesitate to ask! Thanks for your interest and have a good day!
