Perry
Mason Missed This Case
Repairing cases is, at times, a matter of necessity. This
case came with a vintage tenor banjo and had been very
mistreated (where was Perry when he was needed?) Had the
instrument not been vintage it would have made sense to buy
a new case and leave this one for the trash man. The before
photos are actually after I had done some work on it – I was
afraid it was going to crumble. I’m not sure what caused
the damage, though someone had installed a new tailpiece
that was actually cutting into what was left of the tail of
the case – this had to be fixed on the instrument. You can
see in the after pictures that the effort was to repair, but
keep the old look. With a little Oklahoma dust thrown in
the newer pieces should age well. If anyone has some green
felt liner you can see that I need a small piece for the
inside. Thanks.
