B&D Roy Smeck Stage Model Silver Bell #1 Tenor Banjo.
Neck and resonator back are made of exotic Vermillion Wood.
The rim is veneered with the same.
A great tenor banjo with very minor playing wear, but which does have a couple
of issues:
There is an old and solid, and quite visable repaired heel.
The original tuning pegs have been replaced with a set of modern planetary pegs
made in Germany.
The back of the resonator was at some point refinished and then set down on something before the finish was perfectly dry.
A good straight banjo without the high price that accompanies cosmetic perfection.
Like New Harptone Hard Case.
