“Rauch also had a successful teaching business there and conducted the Dayton Mandolin Club. In addition to banjos Rauch made and sold most fretted instruments. Rauch launched the “New Construction Dayton Banjos” which had 12" hoops and were fitted with a round metal perchpole and an extension fingerboard. The 5 string hoops were turned from 12 wood blocks glued in 3 layers.” vintagebanjomaker.com/dayton/4594323404
This instrument was given a complete cleaning and polish, light fret dress, new calfskin vellum (head), ebony nut and set up with a Grover bridge and Martin fluorocarbon strings. Note some separation in the wood block construction (see photo). It is stable though and solid. I’ve no concerns about it being great playing tunes for another 100 years. It is all set up to play. No case included but optional high quality case (photo) available. I ship USPS insured Priority domestic, double boxed and well-protected - Continental shipping $65.

That’s how I like to shop. Thanks or looking. Corey
