Full sound, esy to play, great quality banjo. BALDWIN-ODE banjos are hard to come by. I am fortunate to have one

Setup


No, I did a bit of setup, it had been neglected for a while. No harm done. It is a solid well built banjo.

Appearance


This banjo has the simple headstock design, solid maple rim, multilayered neck. A heavy tone ring ( not typical in open backs). My guess is that at a previous life it was a resonator banjo
