    Description

    I'm cleaning out a long closed Western Ma. luthier shops inventory , and will be selling a lifetime collection of mostly vintage musical instruments and parts.  Today I have a set of friction tuners from a 1919 Fairbanks White Laydie open back tenor banjo. These are in very clean shape with very nice ivoroid buttons that have aged beautifully.  The banjo itself  is sold, but the new owner wanted geared pegs for  stage playing. Tuners like these were found both on vintage  open back banjos and resonator banjos  As well as 5 string banjos and tenor banjos , and would work on banjo ukes and mandolins as well.  $ 125 buys em.      Vintage guitar shops that fix old banjos can probably use these .These would be great for any luthier that restores antique banjos  Please note I am not a vintage instrument  expert and I am going mostly from handwritten paper  notes left on items . Any input is appreciated. Everything sold "AS IS " Check out my feedback. Please feel free to ask any and all questions. Shipping will be .00 fully insured signature required in the lower 48 I will combine shipping on items that will fit in one box.
