Paramount Style A Tenor Banjo, 1924 [USED]

Here is a Paramount Style A Tenor Banjo from 1924. Introduced in the 1920s, the Paramount brand quickly gained a reputation for quality and craftsmanship, becoming one of the most respected names in banjo manufacturing. The Style A model was particularly popular during the jazz era, as tenor banjos became essential in dance bands and ensembles. Known for their superb playability and tonal clarity, Paramount banjos have remained sought-after instruments for decades. This example is in good condition. Its maple neck is in good shape for its age. The rosewood fretboard is missing some inlay at the 10th fret. The original Page ‘Geared’ tuners are holding up well. Overall the banjo is in reasonable playing condition although it would benefit from a new bridge and setup by an expert.

Paramount Banjos are celebrated for their combination of aesthetic appeal and excellent sound quality, making them a timeless choice for jazz players and traditional Irish players. Whether for performance or personal enjoyment, this banjo remains a beloved instrument in the world of tenor banjo.
