THE LUSCOMB BANJO by Thompson & Odell of Boston
Banjo Heritage 👉 https://patreon.com/CliftonHicks
"... the Luscomb banjo, named after John F. Luscomb, a highly regarded banjo soloist and composer who over the next decade designed several models. His first, patented in the late summer of 1888 but advertised by Thompson and Odell half a year earlier, offered a rim composed of two metal bands (inside and outside) with a third, of wood, sandwiched between them with its lip extending upward so that the skin head was stretched over it."
- Philip F. Gura & James F. Bollman

"The Luscomb Banjo Patented Aug. 29, 1888." Thompson & Odell published sheet music and sold musical instruments in Boston, Massachusetts. Charles W. Thompson and Ira H. Odell formed the business in 1874, and they operated a shop on Tremont Street; later moved to 523 Washington Street. The company was bought by Vega in 1905.
