Boston Ideal Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar Club

The Boston Ideal Banjo, Mandolin and Guitar Club was an American musical quintet composed of virtuoso artists of the banjo, mandolin, and guitar. Founded in 1887, it was reputed to be the first ensemble of fretted instrument artists on the East Coast formed for professional appearances and nationwide concert tours. The prevailing critical acclaim in major cities throughout the country was highly complimentary.
