1915 Orpheum No. 1 12” 5-String Open Back Banjo Rettberg & Lange

Price: $1,400.00 USD

Quick video demonstrating 3 playing styles can be found in the link below, poorly executed….but you get it. Just wanted you to hear it.

Just a killer, all original No. 1!

-modern frosted head (obv)
-holes from a shubb (boo)
-original tension tuners (suck but work)
-missing one tension hook

Action is low, everything plays fine up the neck - it’s currently set up with one of those tiny, old school bridges. Super quick attack and little sustain for that real old school “pop”.

Real talk - the banjo is over a century old…if you don’t like temperamental old things and cannot afford (or be bothered) with a “setup” to make it suit your needs - don’t buy it. It’s set up for me/how I like it/what I wanted out of the tone

$1400 includes continental US shipping - Venmo only or cash app only. I’m fine with buyer protection stuff, but screw PayPal. I’m a teacher and cannot afford to pay taxes on this sh*t.

Dm with questions! I’m happy to accommodate

Shipping: Free Cont. US
