A beautiful 1927 Paramount Style C tenor banjo that impressively reflects the high level of craftsmanship in the American banjo tradition of the 1920s. The instrument captivates with its exquisite rosewood construction, artful carvings, and tasteful decorative inlays, which give it a particularly elegant and distinctive appearance.

Sonically, the banjo impresses with a lively, clearly defined tone rich in overtones. It offers beautiful projection, a direct response, and the characteristic sound—both warm and assertive—of a classic tenor banjo from the golden age of swing and jazz.

Length 86 cm, scale length 57 cm, nut width 29 mm

The banjo is in good condition and ready to play. The neck has been professionally restored (prof. repaired crack), is straight, and the frets are still in good condition. The original tuning pegs have been replaced with modern tuners.

A beautiful and authentic instrument from a significant era of American banjo making—suitable for both active musicians and enthusiasts of historical instruments. The banjo is sold without a case. A modern case or bag can be ordered separately upon request.
