Shortly I'll be taking delivery of this beautiful Clifford Essex Professional, courtesy of Tom Ryan.

 

This one is a bit different than some of the others I've seen.  It has Grover tuners with white buttons, Weaver like side dots, and rather than the black dowel stick tag that reads 'The Professional" it has the angled stamps like the Richard Spencer made Concert Grand banjos.  I've been looking for a Professional for a long time, and I can't wait to get my hands on this one!

I use a calfskin on mine.  I'd try a frosted top on it if you decide to go to plastic.  I've played one with a Fyberskin and it was completely dead sounding.  I also played one with a Renaissance head and it was a cannon but too bright.  

may be  your CE Pro without roman number could be the first one of a série  ?  ?  ; i 've never see one  ( CE pro or others )  marked  I

i 'm gonna open a new subject to collect some infos
