We love the Deering Eagle II tenor banjo over here at Banjo Studio. The Deering Twenty Ten tone ring that this banjo is fitted with gives it a fantastic warm and rich tone with plenty of crispness to cut through and not be muddy. This custom version of this banjo is an openback (does not have a resonator back) which reduces the weight and warms it up some more. It also features a fiberskin head to give it a little more warmth and a nice vintage look. Lastly, a wooden armrest is added to give more comfort when playing and it also gives it a great look!
This banjo would be fantastic for jazz or Irish playing. It is currently set up in standard tenor tuning (CGDA) but can be setup in Irish tuning (GDAE) upon request.
Comes with a Deering hardshell case that fits and protects this beautiful instrument perfectly.
