Vintage Vega “Pie Section” Banjo Resonator & Attachment 1920s for 10-15/16". Vintage Vega Banjo Resonator for Vega Banjo Rim, ca. 1920s. This is an original, old pie-section resonator from the Vega Co. of Boston, Mass. It was used on the Vega banjos with various rim diameters. This one will accommodate a rim up to 11" in diameter. The resonator is in very good condition considering its age. This one comes with the original attachment apparatus that fits on the dowel stick. This resonator would be ideal for restoring your Vega banjo to original or converting your open back Vega to a resonator to give it more volume. This would be especially useful for a 17-fret banjo that was sold as an open back banjo. These would be used for Irish style playing so the added volume of having a resonator would be a welcomed addition.See my other Vega Parts auctions.
