The 1977 Baldwin Ode banjo showcases exceptional craftsmanship with a mahogany resonator, mahogany neck, and bound ebony fretboard adorned with pearl inlays. Its multi-ply maple rim and brass tone ring produce a crisp, punchy tone with excellent sustain. Original nickel-plated hardware and geared tuners ensure reliability, while the smooth neck profile offers effortless playability. Well-preserved with minor wear, this banjo delivers the rich, bell-like tone that makes Baldwin Ode instruments highly sought after. This example bears the signature of Bluegrass musician Dave Evans on the head. Comes with a TKL hardshell case.
