Hi All

I was given a Zither Banjo yesterday. I am unable to find any makers mark at all.

It has a 5th String that runs through the neck. Also the neck sounds hollow??

The rim is very decorative, with MoP dots at each screw-head. The dots on the finger-board are also adorned with additional inlay work.

However, the neck seems to be lifted towards the front. The bridge is only small, but the clearance of the strings at the neck joint is quite a lot.

I have photos, but can't see how to load them on here.

Any help would be appreciated.
