LYON & HEALY PICCOLO BANJO.

Circa 1910. The perchpole has the Lyon & Healy stamp, with next to it a metal badge engraved with “MYSTIC”, which is the model name. Looks to be all original apart from two replaced (period) nuts, & the pegs , which are modern friction type replacements. The neck is straight with no fingerboard/fret wear. It is a good player & sounds great in “C” tuning. Can be tuned to D with no problem as well.
Dimensions – Length = 24″ (61cm). Scale length = 17 1/4″ (44cm). Head size = 8″ (20.4cm). Width at nut = 1 3/16″ (3cm).
