1927 Vega Little Wonder 19 fret tenor banjo in perfect condition.
All original in excellent condition and so easy to play, very much sought after especially as a first upgrade from beginner banjo. I play the open back version as it is so light but still has the volume and sustain to carry across any session. Fitted with the spun over tone ring and heavy 5/8″ tension hoop with 28 hooks and nuts and a newly installed Remo renaissance head which gives this banjo lovely sustain and cut, especially suited for Irish trad playing. The neck is straight with low playing action and good frets, also has new upgraded Schaller geared tuners with pearl buttons. Both neck and rim have the same serial number stamped and the beautiful pie crust resonator is also original. It is also fitted with a 4 piece Vega Professional flange, which normally only comes with the Vegaphone model. Fitted with original Presto brass nickel plated tail piece and fitted arm rest.
Dec 29, 2013 The American made Vega Little Wonder banjo is a remarkable acheivement in blending a versatile, bright, responsive banjo with a very modest price. The sound of this banjo is ideal for old time music, both clawhammer and fingerstyle, folk, classical, civil war era, ragtime and for classic turn of the century parlor music.
