Bank in about 1960, I acquired a handmade, black walnut fretless banjo made by Frank Proffitt. I played it for many years, but in the 1990s, the original possum belly head finally wore out. I was reluctant to replace the orginal head but I wanted to be able to play it so I got a former neighbor of Proffitt's, Clifford Glenn Clifford Chase, to replace the head (with goat, not possum). Meanwhile, I bought one of Mr. Chase's beautiful hand-crafted fretless banjos which is similar in style and construction, but more carefully made and 20 years newer. I don't use the Proffitt banjo at all now and might consider selling it, but not until I can get an idea of what it's worth. Anybody have any idea?
