This is the second-highest model in the Weymann banjo lineup and is rare to see for sale.
Neck - is made from walnut with a 5 piece center lamination. The fingerboard is ebony with 8 mother of pearl inlays, celluloid binding and multi-colored underlay. The peghead features the standard mother of pearl Weymann Orchestra design inlay. It has the orginal gold plated tuners with pearl buttons. The heel is hand carved.
Rim - walnut "Megaphonic" rim with friction fit walnut resonator with side wall marquetry, gold plated and engraved metal parts.
Setup - This is setup in GDAE tuning for Irish music
Case - original case included
Notes - There is minor fret wear, but it plays great. The gold plating is missing from many of the hooks and the treble side of the tension ring. The treble side of the resonator has a rough texture, probably from moisture, sweat, or body heat. The finish is worn on the back of the neck. The back of the resonator has some scratches and is missing finish from use of a stand. The tailpiece looks to be newer gold plating.
