We have received a used Argus 5-string banjo, the "Flower." It is an older banjo made in Japan during the 1970s and 1980s.
The "Flower" was manufactured as a professional-grade model at the time, featuring a 3-ply curly maple wood rim, with maple used for the neck and resonator as well, and finished in a see-through violet color.
It comes equipped with a slide capo, making it a banjo recommended for both serious players and beginners.

The tailpiece and bridge have been replaced.
Cracks along the rim’s edge and inner side have been repaired. While there are some dents and tarnish on the metal hardware, it plays well and sounds great, so we highly recommend it.
A hard case is included.

Truss Rod: Approximately 90 degrees of adjustment remaining (tightening direction) / Adjustment remaining (loosening direction)
