Sensational
VALUE!
This Classy Modern
Extension Resonator
TENOR-BANJO
Its GREISCH built
Usual Trade Discount
H E R E ' S r o o m in
every Music Mer-
chant's stock for a
banjo like this.
Good-looking! U p - t o - d a t e !
And priced to please that vast
army of average purses who
don't need and can't afford a
$100.00 concert instrument.
I Jut don't get the idea that this is just
a piece of merchandise produced to
sell at a price. It isn't!
It's a real musical instrument. The
scale is faultless. The tone is big and
full, intensified to real brilliance by
an extension resonator of strictly
modern type. We've built it hand-
somely—the best of materials, the
finest of finish. Tt looks good and IS
good!
Genuine Mahogany!
THE RIM is Genuine Mahogany, 5-
plv laminated construction. Finished
in natural brown mahogany color.
Satin hand rubbed finish. Sixteen pro-
fessional cast brackets, and grooved
straining hoop. Selected white calf-
skin head.
Also made in Regulation 5-String
Banjo and Banjo-Mandolin models at
the same price.
THE RESONATOR is Genuine Ma-
hogany, laminated construction. Ex-
tension, detachable, open type. Nat-
ural brown mahogany color, dull satin
rubbed.
THE NECK is 3-piece rock-maple, in
shaded brown mahogany finish. Ebony
reinforcing
strip through
center
makes it warp-proof! Has ebony
heel, headpiece and fingerboard, pearl
inlaid. Regulation, full-sized patent
pegs with ivory-celluloid buttons.
You'll be setting new standards of
value in your town if you are the first
with the new Gretsch "Twenty-Five"!
It looks and plays like twice the price.
