Banjo
Henry Stichter Minstrel Banjo 1848, reproduction
Stichter was in his teens when he built his 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). original is in Jim Bollman’s collection. This reproduction is from a kit that exchanged several hands, including a dumpster, before arriving at a local banjo parlor. Unknown whom the kit maker is but the parameters fit for one of James Hartel’s kits. This minstrel banjo is made to be tuned low. Starting bid is $300 |
