H Don I guess the original image must be pretty large or the compression tool isn’t working for you. You could always make a video, upload to you tube and post the link here and on the BHO.
Question on value of a Banjo
Ok so don’t reduce them quite so much
Hi Don, This photo of Earl is 550 x 440 pixels I think you could get an even larger photo to upload say 1000 x 2000 pixel
that’s much better
@Archie what are your thoughts on it so far was it worth the $150 I paid, if not that’s ok I am still happy with it, just wish it was lighter LOL
will take the resonator off and take some photos also will try to get full photos of front and back
It looks a fine looking banjo the maple leaf inlay on the peg head looks neat and pretty distinctive. All three of my banjo’s have heavy metal tone rings. I think you did well to get it for $150.
I think someone on the BHO may be better placed to offer up an opinion as to it’s originality and value. I myself would be pleased to own it even if it proved not to be an original A. E. Smith Banjo.

@Archie Thank you for your input I have three more photos i will put up it has been a choir just figuring out how to get them in LOL.
