Nice Vintage Original Piccolo Banjo. It has a 8" head and a 17 fret neck. Scale is 20"
measuring from Nut to bridge. Has a new skin head, ebony fingerboard, mahogany neck
and Maple wood rim. Hooks & Nuts all match and are original to the banjo.
Only marking is a star in the peg head. The notched area where the neck joins the rim
indicates that it was probably made during the turn of the century. Small 1/8" chip missing from
the ebony peg head at the 1st peg.
the banjo is completely original, except for the tuning pegs. The TP says "Bell Brand" Patd. not sure if this is original
or not, but it fits well. There is no case. Overall, a nice early Piccolo which wd be a good
starter banjo for a youngster. It plays well, and the action is perfect.
