10 string (think 12 string guitar) open back for Old Time style. The strings are arranged in pairs, 1st, 2nd, 5th tuned in unison and the 3rd and 4th tuned in octaves. Scooped neck. Block rim.
Some faint scratches on the heel and one ding. Rim looks all good. Good tone too.
Well-built; it holds its tune. Once you get it tuned, that is. Set aside some time.
I have not found the time or talent to give this little banjo. I hope it finds its way into better hands.

This is NOT an original OT-10 pot. It is very well made and has attractive binding that matches that on the neck. It is a block rim to provide plenty of extra strength, to support all those strings. It does not have a tone ring.
A very fun banjo, increasingly hard to find.
Shipped in a battered but effective gig bag.
