Many valuable banjos enter the market through estates and family inheritances.

Often, little information accompanies the instrument.

Before making decisions, it’s important to understand how buyers evaluate banjos and what information matters most.

What not to do:

Don’t clean or refinish anything

Don’t replace parts “to improve it”

Don’t rely on generic online listings to determine what you have

Remember that originality matters more than appearance.
