A Gibson with a broken headstock? That's a sensational find indeed!
“How much is that old Banjo over there”
“I need about treefiddy.”
Well it was about that time I noticed this banjo salesman was 8 stories tall and was a crustacean from the Paleozoic Era.
Cool but the lights were mainly to keep the calfskin head tight right before walking onstage. Not a rosewood tonering 😂 although he probably just misspoke.
Most certainly not a rosewood tone ring! He seems to know his banjos quite well, so I'm sure it was just a slip of the tongue. I *was* hoping he'd take the resonator off so we could see inside the pot.
"What did you pay for it?"
"I paid three dollars."
"Three... dollars?"
"Three dollars."
"Three? Three dollars."
"Three dollars. (three dollars)"
$3? Holy moly
Arch top. Still an excellent find. Congrats
It's getting sold faster than I can type sold. I guarantee it.
Yay! Good for her!💰
That would be awesome with a 5 string neck… I couldn’t never run across a deal like those ladies did…
Yes, the appraiser was not equipped to evaluate that banjo. Usually they have Fred Oster from Vintage Instruments in Phila. He would have had much more accurate information and would have removed the resonator to show the tone ring and seal.
Sweet!!! Definitely wouldn't of thought that hi....great find!
That's a really good rate of return right there! Oh yea and first.
Would you believe, this older gal singer in PA had a 1937 Martin D-28 Herringbone that she brought down to George Gruhn--and he said, "Well....I can offer you $5,000 for it." She replied, "I think I can do a LOT better than that!" When she returned to PA, she wound up selling it for $30,000.....
$7k is a severe undervaluation
Yes. Probably around $12 to 15.
I want to know what the other guitar in the $3 locker was!
my god, imagine finding that at a storage unit sale for THREE DOLLARS.
I would love to have that banjo. Neck is no big deal. I would convert it to a 5 string anyway.
What a beauty, for $3.00. I don't think the appraiser has a clue what he's looking at, $7000.00, for a prewar Gibson. Give me a break!!! Grant it , it's an archtop, but, still !! I prefer flatheads, I believe the majority banjo players do, as well, excluding the great late Ralph Stanley. Just take her to a respected Luthier to have the neck replaced to a correct (Gibson) 5 string, there you go . I don't know why he didn't mention that, either. If that was a flathead, and at an auction environment, sky's the limit. Don't laugh when I said sky's the limit. Maybe upwards to $100,000.00 or more, maybe. That's how rare these things are becoming to find and sought after. What a banjo...
You're not going to get anywhere near $100k for a 5 string conversion with a new tone ring. What makes this banjo so valuable is the fact that all the parts are original.
Lutherian? I would try a Luthier myself or even a Lutherian Luthier.
$100k is what Granada original 5 string banjos like the ones that Earl Scruggs and Sonny Osbourne played.
They made a lot of these 4 string tenor Granadas. 7k is about right.
Wow $3 that's unreal
Man oh Man ! $ 3.00 Dollars . Some people really get Lucky sometimes . Nobody would ever have guessed only $ 3.00 Dollars . Wow !
This Banjo is extremely Rare and also you cannot even Buy a Set of Banjo Strings for $ 3.00 Dollars . Nice Work Ladies. I am Proud of Ya . Bye
its a 2peice flange but still a awesome banjo
Rosewood tone ring??? Resonator looks like mahogany. Tone ring bell bronze most likely
If it were an original flathead instead of an archtop tone ring then youre talking BIG bucks
$6,997 profit on a $3 buy. I like the math.
10K easy (haven't watched to the end yet)
THREE DOLLARS???
I just put 8 bricks in my banjo
Sell it!👍
The heavier they are the better he Said I'll keep an eye out for some heavy banjos
an original Grenada? 40K easily, even as a tenor.
$7,000?! Please, hand that over to Jim Mills, Steve Huber, or Charlie Cushman, and they will covert that to a 5-string, then it will be worth over $20k, easy.
Lol not if it doesn't come with the original neck.
I have a 1927 Gibson Diamond 5 string banjo, no idea what it's worth.
Those ladies got into a purple bush.
This guy knows very little to nothing about Gibson banjos.
This man is clueless. That "rosewood tone ring" he was talking about is neither rosewood nor a tone ring. It's maple, and it's a resonator. The tone ring is inside the banjo, and it's made out of steel. Also $7,000 is an absolute STEAL. I sure hope she got that appraised by someone who knows banjos before she ran off to sell it.
Hope the person who sold this doesn’t see this video
There's no sound more satisfying than that of an accordion landing on a banjo as it's tossed in a dumpster
You must have never been introduced to Flaco Jiménez.
Im in love with the daughter. Absolutely gorgeous woman.
And, you know she's got money!
$3…………
Broken neck doesn't effect the banjo lol
affect...just sayin
Idk if this is sarcastic or not but it really doesn't. Because most ppl that buy the 4 strings whether they be a tenor or a plectrum banjo immediately replace the original neck with a 5 string neck, which is what is used in bluegrass and basically any banjo you hear is a 5 string, unless it's in OLD jazz from the 20s and 30s. And anyone who ends up re necking these banjos always keeps the original neck.
Now it might hurt the value of the banjo as a whole not to have the original neck but not nearly as much as ppl think. Maybe 1000 at the most for a 28 archtop Granada like the one in this video. And if that banjo was a flat head instead of an archtop, and was originally built with a 5 string neck, it would put it in the 250k range
@@04granada yep true - it’ll get converted with a 5 string neck, so the crack isn’t really a big deal
Id giver $7k for it .....
If that were an original 5 string you could almost add another zero to the value.
I think Hinson's appraisal price is low. FAR too low.
She can get way more than that for it. It's a prewar Gibson. Those things can go for hundreds of thousands. Not that I think this is one of them, but still.
Only $100k+ if it was an original 5 string flat head Granada like Earl's. Very few of those. Otherwise $7k for a 1928 TB is a good price.
@@CClarkVermont Nonsense.....the guy is misleading her.....these are commonly bought and sold with a newly made 5-string neck with the same inlay and a flathead conversion tone ring. Would have to verify the serial number with the Spann Book inside on the wood rim, but while still preserving the 4-string neck and archtop tone ring, a $2k upgrade with a good luthier with new neck and tone ring and she'd get 14k at least. He knows this but is not telling her that.....Typical dealer.
@@starpicker55 Perhaps, but the market is unpredictable right now and it's an archtop.
Not for a tenor... had this been a original flat head 5 string, then it would be 3 times what he said!
This guy is not very knowledgeable about gibson banjos... he knows a little, but not a lot... as a tenor in that condition, she's looking at roughly 3k maybe.
The neck break is repairable but calling it “minor” is misleading.
The neck and tone ring is going in the trash anyway, so it does'nt matter about the crack.
The fella they were talking to doesn't know diddley about banjoes. That instrument in that condition is worth $ 50k or more in today's market. If it was converted to a 5-string it could easily be worth$75k or more. Any pre-war Granada brings top dollar.
As a tenor it won't even bring 7k! But if it was an original 5 string, then you could talk 50k.
Nobody is paying that much for conversions. It's the all-original instruments that are getting top dollar.
He called the resonator a tone ring. My alarm went off
It has a value of 100000 dollars at least
Yikes! No, not quite that much. These instruments (Gibson tenors) routinely sell in the $2 to $10,000 range. Look up "pre-war Gibson banjo" to find a whole host of listings in that price range. Elderly instruments just sold a tenor Granada in fantastic condition for $4,000, for example.
@@samuelbarham8483 you're looking at 5 string conversions. All original instruments like this one go for a lit more
Can't get chicks with that thing.
There are 2 things you'll never hear:
Oh, you're Jehovah's Witnesses ? Well, come right on in.
And...
Is that the banjo player's Porsche 🤣
This reminded me- a good friend of mine used to LOVE inviting Jehovahs Witnesses in and wearing them out with theological debate. Better yet, he’s a banjo player. But I don’t believe he ever owned a Porsche...
