Hasn`t there been a similar thread before - and dou you call that a banjo vue?
Apart from that I play a S.S. Stewart Universal Favourite Tenor Banjo (17 frets), which was built between 1894 and 1898 - according to the list of serial numbers at mugwumps.com. Tuners seem to be original (hard to get in tune), bridge, tailpiece skin and strings are newer.
Second is a small Stella Uke banjo (tuned GDAE like its big brother) with old skin but new tuners (old fiddle-style onescould never hold through a tune). And a cheap east-german I don`t play anymore but did my first steps on - makes a nice wallhanger now.
Yours
Ernest
P.S.: Can anyone tell me when the first plastic skins were invented?
