Epiphone Dynamic 2 Tenor Banjo

Price: $1,875.00 USD

This is a very rare Epiphone tenor banjo, possibly the only one made. The serial number B8357 dates to 1932. This Dynamic was most likely a prototype that was never manufactured. It has a cast aluminum rim which was an attempt to decrease the manufacturing costs of the banjo. The “2” on the headstock is unique to this specific banjo - there are a few instances of other Epiphone banjos with number “1” on the headstock, but as far as we can tell, this banjo is a one-of-one.

Neck - appears to be maple with a celluliod fingerboard and peghead veneer.

Rim - cast aluminum with a maple resonator with a celluloid back.

Setup - this is in GDAE tuning for Irish trad

Case - vintage case provided

Notes - this banjo is in very good condition with some checking of the finish on the neck and a small crack in the resonator flange. A video can be sent of the banjo being played if requested.
