Comments | Here’s a lovely Paramount Style A tenor banjo from around 1935.
These were a standard professional instrument at the time; the Style A was the least decorated but was otherwise very similar to the more elaborate – and expensive – models. This example is in great playing, and mostly original, condition. |
