Sonntag “Parlor” 5-String Banjo, S/N 459, Circa 1880’s
Herman Sonntag was a large New York based reseller and importer of musical instruments of all kinds, and this banjo was probably made for him by Buckbee. It’s a nice banjo, with a real fingerboard, nice inlays similar to those on my George Dobson “Victor-Concert” model, and 40 head-tightening brackets.
