Akira Tsumura the greatest banjo collector in history paid Ome $18,000 to build this banjo for him. He had the largest collection of vintage and modern American banjos and Jazz guitars the world has ever seen. This is the greatest masterpiece Tenor Banjo that Ome has ever made And that’s saying a lot. Ome’s are world famous both for their tone and unsurpassed workmanship. They dominated the top end Jazz banjo world and exceeded most of the top vintage banjos of the Jazz Age. The inlay work on this Banjo is other worldly and was created by the greatest inlay artist in the world today, Larry Robinson. The 24 k triple gold plated gun metal engraved hardware is stunning. As fine of a work of art, as it is, it is equally sublime tonally. Original hard shell case. One day this banjo will be worth $25,000 and is an heir loom work of art that should be handed down to your descendants for the centuries to come. It just doesn’t get any better than this.
