Overview: We worked on this for its owner a while back and he had intended to sell it to a friend of his, but said friend decided not to grab it in the end. It's back here and still very happy. The owner has a Lyon & Healy "bell" tiple, so this is a bit redundant for him!

Still, Regal tiples are my favorite of the makers (the Martins are arguably much better instruments, but I prefer the ringier, more-Latin sound of the Regals). We've currently got this one strung for CGDA (mandola/tenor banjo) tuning but it could easily be restrung for GCEA tiple tuning (the compensation at the bridge saddle roughly works for both). 

Repairs included: This got a neck reset, fret level/dress, tailpiece install, saddle-slot recut and new fully-compensated saddle fit, neckblock repair and extra bracing up near the neckblock internally, a new nut, cleaning, and setup work. It's playing spot-on and ready to go. We've known this one now for some months and it's been stable in service.

Condition notes: It has light scratches and scuffs throughout but I've found no cracks. The colors have faded a bit in the binding and purfling and the bridge has some of its ebonization agent leached from the finish. The tailpiece, saddle, and nut are non-original.

It comes with: Sorry, no case.
