 ---------------------------    B&D "Super Banjo"   ------------------------------------------From the turn of the century. It is all original and in great shape for its age.A lot less than normal wear for its age.It is further unique because it still has its original wooden resonator back.It is a heavy instrument with fantastic tone projection.I took it to Sam Ash and had their luthier and tech look at it. They told me it was good to sell.He did say that if the buyer was a heavy everyday player like a professional, a fret job could be looked at down the road.So, we have an old banjo with a new case.The nice thing about this instrument is that it is ornate and classy without being ostentatious or gaudy.Photos presented are the best description.It would make a great Irish session instrument... "as is"I'll arrange shipping through UPS and buyer will cover the actual shipping cost.
