Howdy folks. This is another eBay purchase that I hope to be able to use in my videos. It is an Aquarius tenor banjo made in Japan. It appears to be in pretty good condition but it looks like it still needs a bit of work. Watch for future videos with this baby.

Looks/sounds like a good buy. I have one of the first Taka five string banjos and an Ovation guitar, both made in Japan that I am happy with. Haven’t played banjo in 25 years so I’d have to relearn chords and rolls.
Kool, I remember them, Aquarius made everything from guitars to tambourines & a bunch of little stuff in between? Actually a decent entry level brand, a lot less setup mistakes than Teisco brands though?

Thanks Bob. I have a follow up video coming soon. I'm already working on her.

This one needs a little help but I think I should be able to improve it a lot with a few tweaks.
