This is a beautiful banjo; realy loud and really heavy; mostly maple wood. I would like to find the year made, etc if possible. The number A2 4810 is the only number inside I have found; nothing on the outside. Can anyone help me with more info?
Sound Rating: 10
It has been just set up and cleaned by an expert.
Setup Rating: not rated
It is beautiful with just a few pits on the tension ring, but not bad; for what I hear it is over 40 years old and was purchased at an estate auction and probably has laid in the case for years.
Appearance Rating: not rated
I believe it will last for many more years.
