Very nice looking Banjo Becca. Well done on the Restoration. What did you have to do to Her, to get Her to this standard ?

Hi Eddie
I had to make good the fingerboard - it was all dried up and crumbling off, so I added bits of ebony and put a strip of new binding where the original was missing, added a new ebony nut, new frets, new 5th peg and added new hardware - the original was all missing, the main thing was the tension band - it wasn't there, but Mumblepeg here on the hangout was able to help me out and also got a head for me as I couldn't find one the right size in the UK. my other photos show a before and after - you can see what a mess the neck was in. I tried not too do too much to it as I wanted to keep the character there. Fretting was a nightmare because of the softness of the fingerboard, but it's playable - just!
