Thread Name: Who made my Banjo
Subject: RE: Who made my Banjo
Hi everybody,

I have bought a banjo today, but have no clue what make it could possibly be. If anyone has any idea or at least some hints, please let me know.

The banjo is a 5-string openback, with a headstock that has a very Fender-like shape (black, 4 tuning machineheads on the upper side), with 5 pearl dot inlays on the headstock, which create a star-like shape.

There's a metal plate on the bridge-side of the instrument that says "BELL" or "BELLS" (can't read it, have to clean it first).

What kind of banjo could this be?...
