Subject: RE: Houghton banjo mandolin
I have a similar instrument .8'' resonator body. The only label aagin is ' new reliance' stamped on the case .

This instrument belonged to my mother c1930. I had a new velum put on .The tuning posts are rolled brass and have become damaged. I can only reliably tune the D,A & E strings. I intend to get the tuners replaced . It has a loevely sound and dead easy to play.
