Some scuff marks caused by my little finger resting on the soundboard:
Ideal for people with small hands, but not exclusively so. I have large hands, and this is my scale of choice.

There are some scratches where my little finger touches the soundboard - the Canadian Cedar soundboard is French polished to increase resonance.
Ebony re-enforcement strip in neck. An amzing guitar for its size and price.

The English banjo maker, Parslow, is regarded as one of the finest makers of English classical banjos. It is possible that the neck is by Temlett - another notable maker.
This is a superb, loud banjo, highly appropriate for the work of composers such as Joe Morley and Emile Grimshaw.
Currently with a Fiberskyn head. Recently upgraded by Helmut Rheingans, including excellent ebony tuning pegs. Plays superbly.
