Good luck to you, Fishmonger! I have a Vega Tubaphone mandolin-banjo from round about 1917. Strips paint off the walls. Happy picking! The Tubaphone tonering system is great for plectrum playing.
Congrats on the banjo! I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I've been thinking about picking up a banjo and about a concertina, but I had better spend the year practicing on the insturments I now have.
Btw, we have sixteen inches of snow here in KC MO! And it is still snowing!
Well done Fish! Congrats on your vintage model. Reverend and Mike Keyes (among others here) can provide you with a wealth of info and ideas on improving the sound and playability with a good set up. I think Reverend has been in and out of more banjos than Lindsey Lohan has been in and out of rehabs.
Just sayin'...

I'm the new proud owner of a 1926 Vega Tubaphone Tenor Banjo.
Woo hoo!!
