Description

“It comes down to what style you want to play. If you're going to be playing Jazz or Folk, you'll want to choose the appropriate 4-string banjo. Tenor banjos come in two major classifications, 17 and
19-fret. The tenor banjo became popular in in the
1920s in dancehalls with Irish players earning it the nickname, the Irish Tenor. The tenor is also associated with New Orleans style Jazz. Plectrum banjos are sometimes called long-neck 4-strings because they are longer than tenor banjos, typically 22 frets. They are popular for Jazz and Ragtime.” Vintage 4 String Kay Tenor Banjo with a Hard Travel Case. Banjo and travel case are in good used condition especially for their age. The banjo is approximately 34” long. Missing 2 strings and 1 tuning peg so it’s an easy fix. It’s got 16 lugs and 19 frets with a resonator which is about 13” in diameter. So it will need a little TLC but it’s a beauty. I was going to do the repair myself but the wife wants me to make room around the house so I’m trimming down the herd. So it’s right from my personal collection. Both the banjo and case have some nicks, scratches and a there’s a little rust on metal of case along with a few creases as seen in photos. Sold as is so please have a good look at the photos. It’s an old beauty and very sturdy. It will be packed for shipping very carefully and will have shipping insurance for the full purchase price.
