Description Model: President Banjo Type: Tenor Banjo Number of Strings: 4
Very nice tenor banjo. Removable Cherry back with inlay. Serial number on the inside is 2269. Plays good, great volume. The head diameter is 11". The overall length is 33-3/4". There is about 2-1/2" of fretboard edging missing. (We are infilling with similar aged edging currently. We will update photos). I have seen only 1 other like this a while back on Reverb. Reverb stated it was made by Gretsch in the 1920's, however I was told that the serial number indicates that it is circa 1930. Original case we believe. Tuning key came with it and is included. The case is quite durable. We are a 3rd generation Luthier Studio, and have checked out this instrument closely. There is no evidence of any past repairs we can see. Please feel free to ask any questions. We Ship Worldwide and this instrument will be packaged well. We charge only the cost of shipping, no added costs. If requested, we can ship without the case, which will considerably reduce the shipping cost, especially for overseas. Thanks for looking.........
