This MB-1 was converted to a five string by Curt Fiedler with his fantastic straight grain maple five string neck. The pot is all original in its bracket/shoe configuration and brass hoop with the 10 1/2 inch rim. These Banjos make fantastic conversions and this one is no exception. If you need additional pictures or have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks for looking! Here’s a video Curt got of me playing the banjo in my shop right after he converted it: youtube.com/shorts/7p0Dhvw-Ais...3-19-zrjy
