FLAWS:
Normal scuffing for an old banjo. Pot metal is moderately tarnished.
ON THE PLUS SIDE:
A good-sounding, simple vintage banjo. Set-up carefully and plays well. A good player for a modest price.
NOTES:
Uses original friction tuners....not really a flaw, but takes some getting used to if you've never used them. These are a little bit less precise than geared tuners, and take more attention than geared tuners. The banjo stays in tune.
Yellowstone head.
