New Mandolin Day! or is it a New Banjo Day~~~or is it both?
Sold to me as a 1922 Gibson Mandolin Banjo, from catalogs shared to me by members it looks to be a MB-1 Trapdoor with FON 11628-19. It came complete with Finger Rest, Arm Rest, Trapdoor and Case but it is missing the Tailpiece Cover (need to try and find one)
I repaired the Trapdoor yesterday and it now functions well. Need to learn more about the Banjo part of it but started to tighten the skin yesterday. Will try and tune it up later and see how crazy it sounds.
Cool old instrument if we can ever get to a jam Session again.
