Welcome to the tenor banjo emporium, where you’ll find some of the most exclusive, prewar tenor banjos of our time. The majority of my banjos are sourced from collections world wide and from private sellers. Before they can make it to the purebanjo pages they must be in perfect playing condition. This usually involves myself disassembling the banjo, cleaning/polishing, re-fretting, new head, bridge etc. Basically having the perfect trad banjo in hand ready for playing.
