It has got developed beyond the actual narrow purposes of determining specific changes in the Vega generated banjo versions, especially the Whyte Laydie and Tubaphone, to feature as soon as the identity stamps changed. I haven’t attempted to complement a romantic date towards the serial numbers, but that info — although at best speculative and rough — is present in other places, including Mugwumps on the web. Your collector/scholar, it is important merely to see when changes occured. The purchaser, it’s important to realize that a musical instrument on the market as «all original» probably was. Some of the records here enable.
The majority of the tailpieces and several of tuners additionally originated Waverly
Very first, it is vital to see many details. Most the metal areas for pretty much all of the East coastline banjo producers were given by one providers — Waverly sounds Products of brand new York, NY, in business from before the change regarding the 100 years before seventies whenever they comprise acquired by Stewart-MacDonald of Athens, OH. We questioned Waverly’s subsequently manager, a Mr. Lomb — daughter and grandson of this founders, early in 1970 as he had put the business on the market. He told me that Waverly, for who he’d worked since their pre-teens, have given all the material portion and extras for the banjo designers. Inside the workshop he demonstrated myself lots of models, blades, apparatus, and dies used in making the crazy for Vega, Gibson, Bacon, vital as well as the typical peanuts we keep company with the best producers. Waverly in addition generated a lot of, different, stretcher groups, the straightforward steel hoops used for tone rings on the less costly devices, many for the parts that gone into the more sophisticated build rings. They even generated various sneakers and hooks, from Cobra hooks applied to very early Fairbanks on modern flat and spherical hooks. That there were other people making some equipment was indisputed, but Waverly made the majority of they. I’m not sure when they made the Whyte Laydie and Tubaphone assemblies or if perhaps many of the section comprise produced locally following put together at Vega — the most likely situation.
It is likely that Vega did not stamp the serial wide variety on a rim until best system, just before it actually was ready to end up being shipped. Ever since the rims were assembled individually from the necks, and since Vega made ended up selling a variety of types (5 sequence, tenor, keyboards, mandolin, plectrum, etc.) they makes perfect sense the serial numbers wasn’t afixed before neck and rim are mated. This could clarify why some wheels need hardware and requirements after the time when some elements had been disountinued. It seems particularly so for all the prior Vega #7’s and #9’s which obviously sold in modest volumes, plus the put together rims might wait for a while. It generally does not explain the obvious anomolies of identity stamps showing up with serial figures sooner than forecast. Two feasible explanations happen to me — there may be others. Very first is probably a reporting mistake, but I have come across some physically, and become sent photos of other people. Others possible explanation might-be the banjo is returned to the factory, provided a fresh throat with new logo stamp, but numbered using the older serial amounts. Your thoughts with this and just about every other aspect relevant to this study is welcomed.
