I wonder if anyone can shed any light on this little Tenor
and how old it might be
It needs alot of work, I'm assuming it is not some valuable gem that
should only be touched by a pro???? I havent touched it yet
its super light ladder braced and I think says TONEKING on the headstock
I didnt have much luck on a web search..maybe a relation to KAY
Thanks
Steve

I...think they made quiet a few Banjo ukes, ukes and tenors as student instruments in the 20s and 30s... I also think they were made in New York but cant be sure... sweet little instrument and will be nice when you ahve given it a new lease of life! Good luck!
