Description Brand: Paramount Country/Region of Manufacture: United States Model: Style C Tenor Banjo Type: Tenor Banjo
This is a great instrument and begs to be taken out and played! I played it for about three years in the Shannon Ceili band, for dances in the Plough and Stars in San Francisco. I bought it in 2009 and am the second owner; it was unplayed for many years before I bought it. It looks like the head broke off at some point in its history, but was well repaired. (Many if not most Paramounts have this issue, but as long as they are professionally repaired are fine.)It has an unusual hand-made bridge, but I could include a standard banjo bridge if you'd like. It has new medium-weight John Pearse Irish Tenor Banjo strings.Let me know if there are additional questions and I'll get back to you asap.I ship UPS Ground, and have UPS pack to guarantee professional handling and protection of the instrument. Package size is an approximation. Payment for the banjo due in full before shipping; payment for shipping due upon shipping with invoice for UPS shipping and handling which can vary widely depending on your location, but could be as much as $200 on the East Coast.
