After more than a century the banjo is in used condition. Over the years it acquired a worn patina which only adds charm to it in my eyes!
Except of minimal treatment I decided to leave the banjolin in its original condition and leave it up to the next owner to either keep it that way or fully restore it.
The action is quite high on the bottom of the neck. the tuners do not maintain tension well.
After giving it some love it might get playable again!
