1960’s Baldwin Style D 5 string Banjo

Description

Many people are familiar with ODE and OME and may not know that Baldwin was a very rare, early and short lived Brand name for the ODE banjo.  In the 1960’s and 1970’s when Gibson banjo production was lacking in some quality Baldwin and ODE were the top dogs for banjo.   This is an especially rare and highly collectable banjo that almost never is available for purchase.

This has a thick multiply shell with a walnut neck and resonator.  The fretboard is rosewood with some gorgeous inlay work.  The headstock also has inlay including the Baldwin logo.  This has Gold hardware which includes a one piece flange and an original engraved armrest and tailpiece. The gold is in great shape.  This has an original Baldwin tone ring as well.  There is white binding on each side of the neck and fretboard which has yellowed over time.  I’m thrilled to have this because Baldwin Banjos are not only extraordinary they are hard to come by.  This also includes a period correct case which I believe is original.

Condition

This is definitely in excellent shape for a 60 year old instrument.  The most serious wear is some light cracking in the binding.  Besides that this is beautiful and was just professionally cleaned at the Banjo Warehouse.

The gold looks incredible with almost none worn off.  That is huge because these old gold banjos can be prone to worn gold.  The finish also looks incredible with basically no wear and it has a nice shine.  The neck and fretboard are in great shape with frets that also look nearly untouched. This has no spikes or 5th string capo and never has.  The banjo is definitely vintage with some patina but is really clean.  The case is worn on the outside but it is sturdy with no functional issues.

Set Up

This has been professionally set up at the Banjo Warehouse in Atlanta Georgia.  This has a new Huber frosted head by Remo which is set to 90 on a drum dial.  The bridge is a Dotson and is set with correct intonation.  The strings are new Huber Truetone .10 gauge strings and the action is set nicely.  This is also adjustable.  The banjo is set up so not only does it look great this sounds and plays like heaven as well.
