A very nice player, very well preserved and original except for newer (1970's style) geared tuners, a plastic head and recent bridge. There is light wear overall but the plating has worn areas but still shows a nice shine. The elegant original hooks \u0026amp; nuts and the lovely engraved tailpiece (patent date 1887) are still intact. This banjo remains amazingly clean for being well over 100 years old. A cool and attractive 19th century openback 5-string, fairly loud and bright sounding for its era. Excellent - Condition.","brand":"Lyon \u0026 Healy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46852996137100,"sku":"6772","price":800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/8702\/3756\/files\/01_af8cf8fe-ba1c-4850-85fe-28bbb48a21d4.jpg?v=1774329959","url":"https:\/\/retrofret.com\/products\/lyon-healy-mystic-5-string-banjo-1895-6772","provider":"RetroFret","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
