    Description

    This Listing is for one Vintage Banjolin Is is well build and the Instrument very heavy for its size. It does plays and works well for its age the strings are old and still in good condition. I won the at Antique auction note: it is missing one Tension rod and Bridge. It was replaced with the correct style bridge for this Banjolin. It was made some time approximately between 1920-1930 the Brand name is Known.
    Historically, production of
    mandolin
    -banjos have been made by several
    companies
    , most notably Gibson, but also by Vega and the English
    company
    Windsor, all who
    built
    and sold 4 and 8 string banjos in the early 20th century.
    The instrument has the same scale length as a mandolin (about 14 inches); with 4 courses of strings tuned identically to the violin and mandolin (low to high: GDAE). The movable bridge stands on a resonant banjo-like head typically 10 inches in diameter and currently usually made of plastic. Originally heads were made of skin and varied in diameter to as small as five inches. Larger heads were favored, however, as they were louder, and thus more audible in band settings.
