The Deering Calico five-string banjo is a high-end instrument embellished with many details that is sure to appeal to professional banjo players and avid collectors. It belongs to the so-called resonators, i.e. it has an arched cover made of corrugated maple on the back with a beautiful wood grain, imitation ivory trim and tab. The smaller depth of the resonator guarantees a fast banjo response. Add to this a powerful dynamic sound and you have in your hands a banjo for every occasion and musical style. A bronze tone-ring -06- adheres to a body made of three layers of specially selected maple (premium violin grade), to which an 11-inch brass rim is attached.
The maple neck with two-way bracing is fitted with an ebony fingerboard fitted with twenty-two pakfong frets. Orientation on its surface is facilitated by mother-of-pearl position markers. The strings are mounted on one side in high-quality Planetary-type mechanisms, on the other side through a maple/ebony fingerboard in an adjustable Deering True Tone nickel-plated steel stringers. The mother-of-pearl motifs on the instrument's headstock, shoulder rest, imitation ivory neck and headstock bands, and decorative one-piece zinc flange complement the basic materials used both practically and visually.
The banjo is supplied in a case.
All Deering instruments (from professional models to the entry-level Goodtime line) are made in Spring Valley, California, USA by skilled craftsmen. Here, each piece is given equal care and attention to meet strict quality standards.
