1920's era Weymann Style A Tenor Banjo. Plays and sounds great. It has pop on resonator. Flange is bent and misshaped in places but is not broken. One of the clips to hold the flange is broken. Resonator is in good condition. Has original megaphonic tone ring which contributes to its fantastic tone and volume. Rim is in good condition. It is an 11" head and it has older calf skin on it. Neck plays well throughout all registers. Original frets are in good condition. Original tuners are missing. Currently has a newer set of planetary tuners of unknown origin. They work fine. Currently has 5/8" bridge on it. Some nicks and scratches as well as corrosion as to be expected with an older instrument. All hooks and nuts have been accounted for. Comes with a larger 5-string banjo hardshell case that is good for shipping. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. For in hand description call: 203-293-7241
