Hey dude!! For how much did you sell it! I got one from my grandma and I jusy wanted to see if it was worth selling? Mine is prolly from around 1920-1950 and its made by a compamy called slingerland, who actually made drumkits!
I have an early 1900s Clifford Essex banjolin that looks very similar, big banjo body, tiny mandolin neck. what strings have you got on this? Are they nylon ukelele strings or mandolin strings?
Lovely adapted to early blues, and rag time tunes expertly played. Very enjoyable. I want to go get my Gibby L-4 and play along now.LOL . (1918 L4) Maybe I'll grab the 1912 Mandolute and play it. Both are from this era. KUDOS on a nice performance!
This is a Banjo Mandolin but you've got it strung like a Banjolin (similar instrument but with single strings instead of pairs). Sounds good! Looks like this is the only video on youtube of a 4 single string banjo body and mandolin scale neck. Awesome.
Thanks for the kind words. The first song I made up the first time I played the Bruno, the second song is Stealin' ala David Grisman, next song is my version of Ice Cream Man and the last song is something I came up with. I use standard mandolin tuning G D A E. As for TABS you could probably find Stealin' somewhere but I learn most stuff by ear. Thanks again for watching.... little Bruno is still for sale on Ebay!

That's actually a mandolin banjo/manjo, a banjolin only has 4 strings but I guess since he only has 4 on there he's playing it as such
