  • I like these little banjoleles. They work great and are easy to fix if all the parts are there. They have kind of a strange system for tentioning the head. The flesh ring rides down inside the slot for the tone ring. I've got several of these babies. They rock.

  • Ran across it yesterday, while lookin for something else in the barn...knew i had it, just forgot where i put it for safekeeping...lol

  • looks like you got a new toy, there toad, nice addition to the collection !!!

  • Yup...think your right John...Pick showed me a "Mele" from 20's on canadian evilbay...very much the same...

  • Looks like a nice old piece.   Probably best to string up some nylon uke strings and try it as a uke first.   Would have to change to geared tuners for mandolin strings.   Cool wall hanger- better yet if it is a player.   I am NO EXPERT, but it could be from the 1920s.

  • Ok John...thanx...any info you can lay on me is apprectiated...

  • You can also string and tune these like a 4 string mandolin.
