Vintage Contessa six string banjo. It's in really good condition with what appears to be the original drum head with Contessa branding. I had a small pickup installed on the underside of the drum head that wires through the holes in the metal frame to a guitar 1/4" cable (NO DRILLING). Really fun to experiment with this through effects and amps. I bought in 2006, recorded with it on some projects and then basically kept it in a hardshell case in storage for the last 15 years. It is missing one of the mounting screws that attached the body/back to the top. I'm actively looking for it among my hardware and could find it by sale.
