1890s HC Nelson (Double-Spun Rim)
Added 2019-12-05 13:00:03 +0000 UTCHC Nelson (Nelsen) was a prolific banjo maker in the Chicago, Illinois area. He seems to have used parts exclusively from the JB Schall catalog. This is a great sounding banjo. Current bridge is a 5/8" one I made; this instrument would prefer a 1/2" bridge. Note the nice old repair to a crack in the neck (appears quite solid).
