This is a clear and powerful-sounding banjo that plays like hell. Actually strung in CGDA, but this should be a great Irish player!
There are several small signs of use and age like tiny scratches or some bumps. No cracks or structural problems.
Testing and collecting in the Hamburg / Luebeck area, Germany
