Weyman Tenor Banjo

Offered here is a Weymann Orchestra Model banjo, approximately 100 years old, and very much a player’s instrument. This banjo has clearly been played a lot over its long life, and it carries the kind of wear that only comes from decades of real music-making.

• Noticeable fingerboard wear, especially in the lower positions, consistent with heavy historical use.
• Some of the pearloid inlays are partially worn, adding to the banjo’s authentic vintage character.
• The banjo has been refretted, making it fully playable and comfortable despite its age.
• Fitted with a brand-new Remo Renaissance head, giving it excellent response, warmth, and clarity.
• The neck was repaired once,as you can see on the back.

Sound & Playability:

This Weymann delivers a rich, open, and articulate tone that modern banjos struggle to match. The Renaissance head pairs beautifully with the vintage pot, producing a warm yet projecting sound ideal for old-time, jazz, folk, and early orchestral banjo styles.

Why This Banjo?

This is not a museum piece — it’s a true working vintage instrument with history in every mark. Perfect for players who value tone, authenticity, and soul over cosmetic perfection.
