Featured Instruments: A Pair of 1920’s Gibson Banjos
posted by Steve | May 12th, 2010
This pair, a four string tenor banjo and an eight string mandolin banjo from the 1920’s, needed new heads and bridges and some TLC. They came to the right place.
Here’s a Gibson MB-1 and (maybe an enthusiast will help me out with this) a TB-1 or TB-3. They both feature rim-mounted pickguards and hinged backs that are able to be either closed or propped open with a small latch. When they arrived, both clearly needed new bridges and heads.
