I have for sale a 1930's Gibson TB-11












tenor banjo for restoration or a conversion project..the bones are there , it needs some elbow grease, these banjos are in the stratosphere so here is a good opportunity to get one that needs some TLC.. note the original flange is bent and has a repaired crack in the metal.. comes with the original case in poor condition , but still usable.. asking price is $2400.00 plus $60.00 shipping ..Pay Pal "friends and family"... lucybobkat@yahoo.com Call 570-829-7908

That’s not a Kel Kroyden, it’s a Gibson TB-11.

Cousin to this one. Clearly only played by amateurs.

That particular “amateur” played that particular banjo with the most legendary iteration of Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys.

Hah hah until Mr. Monroe told him to get a better banjo..true story.
I have two of these one cut rim and the other with the original hoop ring.. this will make a great conversion or play it tenor the way it is..they don't make'em anymore...if original metal an excellent price..you should take a picture or the Dolmar trademark of the flange near the heel...not trying to take away a donation from SGF but I bet you'd sell this banjo right away posting on the Banjo Hangout.. anytime I see one on these I get the sweats...can't have em all...enough from me Smile

yes that tb-11 would make a great conversion Banjo. Same parts as a Mastertone but minus the tone ring, I have a '34 style 1 conversion.
