{"product_id":"used-paramount-style-c-tenor","title":"Used Paramount Style C Tenor","description":"c. 1922 Paramount Style C tenor banjo in excellent condition including its original hard shell case. A  well-preserved example of a fine tenor banjo from a peak period of American banjo manufacturing, featuring its original finish and what appears to be its original hardware. This is a superb sounding archtop tenor with great projection and a pleasant resonance, and it holds its tune perfectly thanks to its excellent set of geared Page tuning machines. Premium cosmetic features include mother of pearl dove fretboard inlays, lozenge wood marquetry, and ornate floral carving on the heel and back of the headstock. The laminate mahogany neck has a gentle curved V profile and the angle is spot-on, with action measuring 6\/64\" and 4\/64\" from the 12th fret to the bottom of the low and high string, respectively, with optimal break angle over the bridge. Currently setup in Irish tuning (G-D-A-E), but easily convertible to C tuning with the appropriate set of strings. \r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCosmetic wear includes general scratching, worming, and rubbing in the finish throughout, particularly on the back of the resonator in the belt buckle zone. A section of marquetry and binding is missing near what appears to be a minor impact crack in the bottom of the resonator. The crack has long been repaired and is in fully stable condition. This banjo was refretted at some point with modern gauge fretwire; frets are level and show only very minimal signs of use. \r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003ec. 1922\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany rim\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaminate mahogany resonator\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLaminate mahogany neck w\/ rosewood fretboard\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMother-of-pearl dove fretboard inlays\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite plastic binding\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLozenge wood marquetry\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1-1\/8\" nut width\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e23\" scale length\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLange tone ring\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeared Page tuning machines, original\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParamount tailpiece\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9lbs 2oz\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\nIncludes original hard-shell case.\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/2481\/1820\/files\/Used-_Paramount_Style_C_Tenor_-02.jpg?v=1773266597\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/2481\/1820\/files\/Used-_Paramount_Style_C_Tenor_-03.jpg?v=1773266602\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/2481\/1820\/files\/Used-_Paramount_Style_C_Tenor_-04.jpg?v=1773266601\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/2481\/1820\/files\/Used-_Paramount_Style_C_Tenor_-05.jpg?v=1773266602\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/2481\/1820\/files\/Used-_Paramount_Style_C_Tenor_-06.jpg?v=1773266603\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/2481\/1820\/files\/Used-_Paramount_Style_C_Tenor_-07.jpg?v=1773266604\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/2481\/1820\/files\/Used-_Paramount_Style_C_Tenor_-08.jpg?v=1773266605\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/2481\/1820\/files\/Used-_Paramount_Style_C_Tenor_-09.jpg?v=1773266607\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/2481\/1820\/files\/Used-_Paramount_Style_C_Tenor_-07a.jpg?v=1773274026\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paramount","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45312833061046,"sku":"USEDTENORSTYLEC","price":499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/8251\/1286\/files\/Used-_Paramount_Style_C_Tenor_-01.jpg?v=1785674145","url":"https:\/\/mhkshopmotfy.com\/products\/used-paramount-style-c-tenor","provider":"Mhkshopmotfy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
