This video showcases a rare 1890s Fairbanks "Baby Electric" banjo, highlighting its unique 21-inch scale and 9-inch pot. The description delves into the banjo's history, noting its probable marketing as a women's instrument and the innovative "Electric" tone ring patented by Fairbanks in 1890. This tone ring, described as a scalloped metal truss supporting a round metal ring within a thin metal sheath, is credited with adding brilliance and sustain to the banjo's sound, a characteristic still favored today. The video also provides links for supporting the creator through Patreon, Bandcamp, PayPal, and Venmo.
