Fairbanks / Vega Whyte Laydie / 1910 / Stringed Instrument

When it comes to classic banjo designs, the Whyte Laydie is one of the most iconic instruments. Originally designed by the A.C. Fairbanks Co. of Boston, Massachusetts, and introduced in 1901, the Whyte Laydie banjo became a popular and frequently copied instrument. It was made by the Vega company, who purchased the rights to the design and name after the Fairbanks factory suffered a devastating fire in 1904. With its distinctive inlay on the fingerboard and on both sides of the peghead, as well as its elaborate heel carvings, the style No. 7 was the top-of-the-line version of the instrument. This Whyte Laydie from 1910 is still in very good condition and a spectacular instrument to see. It has been well preserved the last 110 years so besides the natural aging and usual wear, it still looks remarkably clean. Comes in a hardshell case with TFOA passport. Consignment.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
