Bacon and Day SilverBell Tenor Banjo

known for their exceptional volume and cutting power the Silver Bell is ranked highly in the Irish banjoist ‘sought after’ list. In my opinion the Silver Bell model is the zenith of craftsmanship and offers great value for money. This particular banjo came from an English collector and is totally original and in excellent condition. Details:
  • Built in 1927 (SN: 17803)
  • 19 fret ebony fingerboard with beautiful diamond cut pearl inlay postion markers.
