This banjo had a few changes and modifications when it arrived to me.  I took it one step further and put a tone ring from an old Orpheum banjo in it to make it an archtop.  It is in "players" condition.  Look at the pictures and you will see wear/damage to the resonator and marks on the neck.  The frets were level, crowned, and polished.  New strings were added and a new tailpiece.  There are mismatched tuners.  Setup with low action and sounds great.  I wanted to hold onto this until session resumes to see how it does there.  It has great tone and volume, especially for the price.  This banjo was previously owned by a member of the Philadelphia Mummer's Woodland String Band.
