This is a vintage Musima 8 string banjo, measuring 24" long with an 10 3/8" diameter body. It appears to be in excellent condition overall, and has a nice sound, just in need of a tuning. The skin has some surface wear, and a couple dings, but mostly intact and smooth. The metal fittings are all secure. There is light surface crazing, and slight uneveness at the nape of the neck, but there are no cracks or warping. The headstock is good, and it has a gold sticker on back marked Made in the German Democratic Republic. There is a fine fingerboard with 17 frets, and 4 white dots. * This is a nice old Musima for anyone who enjoys fine banjos.
