A very rare Hurdy Gurdy Banjo. Small handle turns an inside rod upon which is a circle of plectra which brush against a single Banjo, string which responds off of the skin by means of in improvised bridge. Every part is original with th the exception of the bridge, which I carefully adjusted. Some plectra need to be replaced. Notice the Shield brackets..
