ca. 1915 Orpheum Pot (12.25 inches) with Reproduction Neck

1915 Orpheum Legend These old Rettenberg & Lange Orpheums are impossible to date, so they are invariably indicated as ca. 1915.

This one has a huge, 12.25 inch pot with a older, reproduction mahogany neck fitted.

It has that unique Orpheum sound and plays well; it's consigned here at $1150 with a gig bag.




1915 Orpheum peghead The peghead uses the original overlay with its distinctive inlay pattern.          1915 Orpheum tuners The tuners have been replaced with functional, planetary tuners.
1915 Orpheum neck The mahogany neck has numerous capo dings. Note the planetary 5th string tuner.
         1915 Orpheum fingerboard The rosewood fingerboard has a handsome traditional inlay pattern.
1915 Orpheum dowel stick The pot has a typical Orpheum tone ring, i.e., a solid ring mounted up from the wooden rim on a series of pins.          1915 Orpheum head It's currently set up with a skin head and a No-Knot tailpiece.
1915 Orpheum back This is truly a player's instrument, and is a great banjo for the lover of that Orpheum sound!
