Can anyone help me identify my banjo? It was a recent present from my grandmother-in-law. It was her father's.It is a Vega Tubaphone Style 9 short neck (I assume its a banjo/mandoline). I can't find this exact model anywhere online. According to some websites the serial number places it around 1918 or 1919. This makes sense because we also have a picture of the original owner, my great grandfater-in-law playing it and the photo is dated 1920 by what looks like a professional photographer studio. I think it was used primarily as a ragtime instrument (if that helps) Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
