Slingerland May Bell Queen 19-fret tenor banjo in excellent condition.
ca. 1930
Great-looking 19-fret resonator model from the middle of the Slingerland line-- more elaborate than some of the simpler open-back 17-frets and a step below the more sophisticated tone-ring models. Dark walnut stain over maple. Nearly new at 90+ years!
Excellent condition throughout. Professionally reconditioned. Neck plays perfectly, low action. Original rim hardware, plus old Waverly tailpiece, new Gotoh planetary pegs, high quality modern arm rest added and new "frosted" mylar head. Strung Irish G-D-A-E. Can be converted to standard tuning. Set up and guaranteed for structural soundness and playability 90 days by luthier-owner; sold as is cosmetically.
Case is not included.
