I’m posting here because this group has such a breadth of knowledge, I thought maybe I would get lucky.
I have my grandfathers banjo. As near as my mother can recall he got it when he was in high school. Somewhere around 1927. There is a part that came with it, I have no idea of its name or what it’s used for. I’m thinking it goes over the strings and bridge to produce a different sound. I’m searching it out on the Internet of course. But, without a name or use, it’s tough. It’s more a curiosity at this point. Anyone know? I included a picture of the banjo as well in case someone recognizes it and knows the maker or anything about it. Thank you.
