Zither-Banjo Rarity

[Jody Stecher]

Zither-Banjo alert, especially for those on the east side of the Atlantic, especially for those near Yorkshire. There's something I've never seen before up for auction on Ebay: a Cammeyer Patent zither -banjo in good condition. Every other one I've seen has had veneer damage to the resonator. Have a look:

Looks like a ZB needing rescue!

David Wade lives out around there, I seem to recall.

I does indeed, in fact the owner has just contacted me "off list".

It looks to be a very nice Camm. Patent, so predates the Vibrante.
