Harmony 5-string banjo
If you’re in to the nuances of open-G on a weissenborn or upright resonator but want a different tonality you need a 5-string banjo tuned to open-G. The “Harmony est 1892” range are often called fakes, but they are not. Harmony stopped production in the states in 1975 and sold the name. It’s old, Probably made in Korea some time after 1975 but I don’t know when. The back comes off so you can adjust the action.
Front and Back views
So utilise you muscle memory and sound different. You can also do those Keith Richards riffs without the dang 6th string getting in the way.
No case, though I’ve got a gig bag that kind of fits, also some old banjo books.
£150
