An extremely nice, old Cammeyer banjo,  very easy to play and a lovely, powerful tone. I currently have it strung up to the same intervals as an Irish tenor banjo, but a whole tone lower, so it can be capoed at the 2nd fret to put it in the correct key, it also sounds great with standard strings, tuned to plectrum tuning, as it was intended (CGBDor DGBD).
This banjo features some very high quality hardware, check out the attention to detail on the hook turnings and the engraving on the spun pot. It weighs around 4.5 kg, making it a pretty hefty banjo.
This banjo has obviously been well loved and well played over the years!
