The Original Style Kel Kroydon® Banjo is one of the most sought after banjos of the 1930s in today's Prewar Banjo market. It features an ornate screened designed resonator, fingerboard and peghead veneer with a painted blue or black finish, with or without a modern style Standard Flathead Tone Ring.
The KK46-10 and KK46-11 models resemble the KK10 and KK11, but they have a 1/4" brass hoop and no tone ring.
