This banjo was restored (slowly) between other jobs, throughout late 2021 and early 2022.

​

It's a zither banjo of unknown provenance, though several of the features would be consistent with it being a W. E. Temlett - though this can't be confirmed without a makers' mark, and it could easily be the product of one imitator or another. 

​

It's had a number of repairs made, chiefly to the headstock, along with a full re-finish, a new skin, tailpiece, and bridge. 

​

The strings are a mix of unwound steel and nylgut, as befits the 'zither' banjo style, and the skin is calfskin vellum.

I'm happy to arrange collection in person, or to courier - the shipping price and processing time will include sourcing appropriate materials to get it to you safely.
