Iida banjo

Sunday, June 10, 2012

It's time to clean house. Several years ago, a friend sent   an Iida Model 237 plectrum banjo. It has the C-2 case and both look  like they were never off the shelf. I can't find a serial number but the printed material accompanying it has a date of 1975. There is a price of $900 on another piece of material. I have a friend that is interested in the banjo but I have no idea of a fair price to ask him. It is a very nice outfit compared to what you would pay for one of the new low-end banjos offered today. Anyone have a suggestion?
