This is a banjo made by TETOMAS. A banjo is a stringed instrument characterized by a bright, dry sound, with strings stretched over a drum-like, drum-shaped resonator. It originated in the 17th century as an instrument of African Americans. I purchased it used several years ago. Please check the condition in the photos. In my opinion, there are no issues with playing it. I also liked the sound. I don't have much knowledge about musical instruments, so I don't know much about the technical aspects.
