1920's Conqueror Tenor Banjo

We can't tell you too much about this one - Conqueror was a brand name owned by C. Bruno & Sons, and they were likely built by Regal in Chicago. This tenor featured here has an 11" head, spun solid maple resonator, 17 fret 20-3/4" scale neck, pearl inlays, and friction pegs. Wooden rim with simple brass ring, nickel-silver flange and 20 brackets. It has original arm-rest, and Presto tailpiece, however the tension hoop and all of its hooks and nuts have been replaced. Nicely set up and very playable, with perfectly level original frets. A good looking and loud tenor.
