Vintage 1920's Paramount Style A tenor banjo- W.L. Lange. very nice high end tenor.I'm not a player but I see that it does need a setup, since the action is high.the bridge is a newer one. the tuners are not original, since there is a small hole on the side of each for the originals, but these look fine and work fine.other than that the banjo appears to be all original.the headstock finish has some wear in spots,but the inlay is all there and in the frets as well.the top of the headstock on back is missing some binding that runs the length of the neck all the way to the tip.it's about an inch of binding.the banjo is solid and heavy and the resonator and original tailpiece are intact. there is no case but i will pack it well.
