I purchased this banjo from Mark Ralston at Yellowstone Jewelry a few months back. It's a neat little thing, but I'm clearing stuff out and I just don't play it much. I'm including Mark's descriptions as well as his pictures, as well as a few of my own. The condition hasn't changed at all since I got it.
Here's Mark's description:
yellowstone-jewelry.com/Banjos...banjo.htm
DIMENSIONS:
Head dia. = 9 1/8"
Scale length 22"
String span @ nut = 1 1/8"
String span @ heel = 1 5/8".
Bridge = 5/8"
22 shoes & hooks (missing three hooks)
SETUP:
* action @ heel = 3/16".
FLAWS:
Normal scuffing for an old banjo. Pot metal is heavily tarnished and/or worn.
Pot was slathered with blue and yellow paint. I was able to get most of the paint off without removing the original black paint on the pot. Pot has been polished through the metal plating to the brass.
ON THE PLUS SIDE:
Very good tone & playability.
NOTES:
Uses friction tuners. The banjo stays in tune.
Nice peghead shape. Skin head rests on wooden lip inside pot.
