Hi friends--
Brand new here and looking for help trying to ID an unusual banjo. My dad found this for me 15 years ago at an instrument sale in Vermont back when played casually. I haven't really touched it in years, and frankly don't know that much about banjos. Would love any insight on maker, vintage, value, etc.!
Here's what I think I can tell you about this one. It's a long-neck Seeger style banjo with a closed back resonator that's sort of zither-esque. The resonator has a lovely domed shape on the back. There's an inlaid pearl star on the headstock. It's in great used condition and plays nicely.
I believe the instrument is handmade from a maker in Vermont (maybe made from parts of other banjos?) It comes with a beautiful handmade stand, as well.
Thanks!

Here is a picture, seems to be a zither-banjo with a five-string long neck.
