Stichter Repro Minstrel Banjo
Donated by Jim Jacquet
Starting bid $300
This 5 string mintrel banjo is a Henry Stichter reproduction, suspected to be from a Terry Bell kit (no longer in production). tuning is dGDF#A.
The original Henry Stichter Minstrel Banjo 1848, is in Jim Bollman’s collection & the following info is from Mr Bollman. Stichter was in his teens when he built this banjo in Pottsville, PA. His family was involved in the hardware business which survived in various eastern Pennsylvania cities at least into the 1970s. He signed the head with the notation that he replaced the skin head a few years later, changes in seasonal humidity makes head breakage all too common. This is one of the most iconic minstrel era banjos with its unusual peghead shape, outrigger fifth peg and very large size (14” rim). There are now only 2 known original Stichter banjos left in existence.
