1972 ODE BALDWIN STYLE C 5-STRING BANJO

We’re absolutely thrilled to offer you this beautiful Style C Bluegrass banjo! It comes from Baldwin’s brief production run in Arkansas—that is, from the time before the Baldwin logo was removed from the headstock. The serial number 2987-CSR is stamped on the inside of the body.

In addition to the beautiful, high-quality components—such as the walnut neck and resonator, the heavy flange, and the bronze tone ring—the stunning color of the headplate makes this ODE banjo a truly unique gem. This light grain in the ebony is a rare find!

Length 98 cm, scale length 69 cm, nut width 29 mm, head size 11"

The instrument plays and sounds just as it should—perfect for crisp bluegrass. The frets are worn in the lower registers but are still fully playable and do not need to be replaced. There are minor signs of age and wear, such as scratches and dents. The used Five-Star head also shows signs of wear from previous owners. The hardware has minimal patina. The banjo comes in its original case.
