It features the company's patented megaphonic rim with the hooks running through it, the most elegant of all 1920's banjo designs. Like all Weymann banjos, this is an extremely finely-made instrument with the company's customary attention to detail evident. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe neck is two-piece laminated mahogany shaded dark, the bound ebony fingerboard inlaid with fancy shaped pearl pieces. The headstock overlay carries a \"Weymann\" logo of inlaid pearl letters with an elaborate floral design. The resonator is nicely figured mahogany with binding on both edges; the rim edge is bound as well. There is an attractive rosewood armrest mounted to the hoop, a unique Weymann feature.
