Celebrating its 100th birthday, this is the latest example of an internal resonator we have ever seen. The neck is basically a Silver Bell style with very similar ornamentation. It has the same chunky feel that is typical of the early B & D banjos. The tailpiece is an original 5 string Oettinger. The tonering is similar to a Silver Bell but the rim is hollow with two "f" holes. This one is a great player with original, old planet tuners and 26 inch scale. Some professional work was done back in 1997 and the bill is in the case. The back of the rim, with two "f holes" has been refinished and some repair was done at the time. This is a great player…..!!!
