    Description

    Please note this is a NO RETURN item therefore please ask adequate questions or seek additional photos should you have any questions PRIOR to offers or purchase.  You are welcome to come and play it prior to purchase.
    Selling for my sister 1 - Washburn B17 5 string banjo with case and pictured accessories.  Its 10-15 years old but new, blemish free in my opinion and never played.  Includes case, unfilled warranty (valid?), tuner and How to Play Bluegrass Banjo book with CD included.
    Not sure where serial number is but if it accessible and someone knows will be happy to add a photo (will not disassemble to find).  Only difference I could find between this one and other B17s are the labels and writings in the photos.   Willing to ship to US destinations ask for shipping/insurance estimate or other photos if interested prior to bidding.  Listed as local pickup.  Shipping/Insurance would be extra.  Below is ad from another listing of the same instrument.  Thanks for looking.  Offers will be carefully considered.
