Antique Lefty - 1890s Bruno?
Added 2020-04-19 12:46:24 +0000 UTCGood lefty banjo, possibly by C. Bruno & Sons. It's set up correctly and has no fret buzz. There is 1 or 2 degrees of neck angle--that and the fresh-looking fingerboard tell me this instrument's been restored by a luthier.
Hope everybody's well. More lessons, tabs &c. coming SOON!
