Hi BHO, happy new year! Up for sale is a 2008 Romero 12” Winter Ltd banjo. I purchased this from Elderly this past year, but need to pair down my collection a bit and have decided to hang on to my Seeders banjos for the time being.
This one is in great condition with its original hard shell case and a Romero bracket wrench. The biggest flaw I can find is a bit of marking where someone must have had a strap attached, otherwise it’s very clean with a fresh setup from Eldery and little to no fret wear.
I’m posting the original specs from Jason’s site, along with current photos of the banjo i just took today. There is also a great YouTube clip from Zepp Music featuring one of these if you’re looking for a sound sample.
I’m relatively new to this site, but have made a couple great purchases here already and have many happy sales between the UMGF, AGF, and reverb. Let’s connect via email, text, or phone. I’d love to chat about the banjo and would be glad to provide references etc.
Please reach out with questions or for more information. Thanks for looking!
