Product Description
1927 Vega Tubaphone Artist Tenor Banjo
Serial Number 72523
This incredible 88 year old Tenor Banjo is a fine example of just how much craftsmanship these instruments were made with. In addition to the perfection of construction and tone with the exclusive features found in all Vegaphones, the “Artist” has a hand-carved Neck, and is heavily gold plated and hand burnished on all exposed metal parts. Perfect for Irish, Dixieland or Traditional Jazz. This instrument was built for the professional who needed to look very good while on the job. The back has some wear spots, and the Perch Poll has been repaired where it joins the rim at the tail piece. Pics of this repair are included.
Choice curly maple hand-carved neck with a black veneer through center of neck to prevent warping. 3/16 inch ebony fingerboard with 19 nickel-silver frets and bound with white fiberloid. The fingerboard, back and front of peg head, and heel piece are inlaid with beautiful engraved pearl designs. These are still in amazing condition. Only the 3rd and 5th fret inlays have any significant wear. Finished in shaded amber brown and highly polished.
Seven lap laminated rim with the patented Tubaphone tune tube and bracket band with brackets, hooks and ball end nuts. There are hidden details as well. Looking at the pictures, you’ll see that the rim has been lovingly assembled into a festive binding pattern. While not necessary, the builders sometimes did this as a point of pride-of-workmanship, a signature of sorts.
The Resonator is made of curly maple five ply, with an eight sectional design on the back and inlaid with blackwood. Finished in matching amber brown.
The elaborate tailpiece has "Vegaphone - Artist - 115 Columbus Ave. - Boston" engravings. Comes with it’s case which fits very nicely. The case is solid, and a bit worn. Weight is 11lbs without case.
