VINTAGE FIVE STRING ZITHER BANJO BY W. TEMLETT. LONDON W TEMLETT SET UP HIS WORKSHOP AT 95 UNION STREET SOUTH EAST LONDON IN 1846, BY THE 1880s THE DEMAND FOR BANJO`S BECAME SO GREAT THAT TEMLETT MOVED TO LARGER PREMISES AT 44 SOUTHWARK BRIDGE ROAD LONDON. THE INSTUMENT IS UNUSUAL AND I WOULD THINK QUITE RARE BECAUSE IT HAS A WOODEN DRUM, RATHER THAN SKIN. SOME ATTEMPT AT RESTORATION HAS BEEN MADE AND IS PLAYABLE, BUT COULD DO WITH FINISHING PROPERLY, THE SHAFT OF THE TOP TENSION ADJUSTER ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS BENT, BUT IS NOT BEING USED FOR ANY OF THE STRINGS.
