Tenor banjo

 A standard scale 19 vintage tenor banjo made by Weymann and Son in Philadelphia, PA. 11 inch calf head with a 14 3/8 inch resonator. The neck angle has an adjustment nut at the rim. An  interesting resonator design. The lugs and nuts not only hold the head on but also the resonator.  The head is loosened or tightened from the back of the resonator. ( If you need to make adjustments due to weather and humidity, you don't have to take the resonator off to tune the head.)  The neck is straight enough.  Slight fret wear, but  plays very well, low action.  All the parts look to be original except for the bridge. Friction, adjustable tuners  £395.  ref Bt059
