Picked up this GH & S

Looks nice - and in very good condition. How's the sound?
 
Congrats on your new banjolele!
 
Thanks all. It is in very good condition and it hasn't been modified in any way.
Ukejenny, it plays quite nice......now I have lowered the string height and cut the nut slots so it is easier to play. Overall a good tone but the metal plate on the rear gives it a rather hollow tone. I need to fit new strings so I will reserve real judgement for when I change them.
I'm not sure how old it is but I would guess 1950's.....ish??

I hope the new strings gives it the sound you are looking for. Looks extremely good to be 1950's.
 
New strings fitted to the G H & S. Certainly improved the tone. Cleaner edge to it and the metal back plate seems to give a slight "clang" to the tone. Interesting.
