Banjo Heritage ? https://patreon.com/CliftonHicks This Fairbanks "Electric" banjo (patented 1890) has an unusual 21-inch scale and 9-inch pot. Serial # 2605. My understanding is that these smaller banjos were usually advertised as women's instruments. If you'd like to support my work...

It was in 1890 that Fairbanks introduced his revolutionary new "Electric" model. The Electric differed from the banjos of Fairbanks' main competitor, S.S. Stewart, by the addition of a novel new tone ring (patent issued on Dec. 30, 1890). The Electric tone ring added a pronounced brilliance and sustain to the tone of the banjo which is favored to this day. The renowned Electric tone ring consists of a scalloped metal truss which rests on the top of the wooden pot and supports a round metal ring. In this early version the entire metal assembly is contained in a thin metal sheath which is then spun over the outside of the pot as shown." - Hank Schwartz http://hschwartz.com #banjo #folkmusic #history Clifton Hicks banjo heritage, ladies' banjo, pony banjo, outlaw old-time music, overhand, clawhammer banjo tablature, two finger tab, thumb lead, 2 finger tableture, frailing and stroke styles plus Appalachian mountain murder ballad hoedown and early minstrel show techniques.
