Step right into the bygone days of foot-tapping melodies with this early 20th-century open-back banjo! Built with charm and character, this piece features a wooden body with metal hardware that casts a spell of nostalgia from its skin head to its tuning pegs. The fretboard has the patina of countless melodies, perhaps serenading a gathering or two. The banjo measures approximately 35 inches in total length, with a body diameter of 11 inches. With its elegant simplicity and time-worn appeal, this banjo is just waiting for the next set of skillful hands to bring its strings back to life—or for a spot in your collection of musical history!
