Deering Eagle II Openback 5-String Banjo

Description Specs Video The Deering Eagle II Openback banjo features the ground breaking, patent pending Twenty-Ten Tone Ring which is a completely original Deering design that gives the banjo an extremely clear tone.   I would assimilate this tone to be closest to that of a tubaphone tone ring, as both are made with brass and have the warmth that is characteristic with brass.  But this banjo is clearer as the mid range frequencies are enhanced (the frequencies the human ear hears the best).This is an incredible clawhammer banjo.   Neck: Maple Stained a Dark Red Mahogany Natural Ebony Fingerboard 22 Pressed In Nickel Silver Frets Original Eagle Engraved Inlays Slender Deering Neck Shape Fully Adjustable Truss Rod Planetary Banjo Tuners Geared 5th String Peg Gloss Finish   Pot:  Deering Patent Pending Twenty-Ten Tone Ring Three-Ply Violin Grade  Maple Rim True Tone Deering Tailpiece Deering Brass Notched Tension Hoop 11” Top Frosted Medium Crown Head 24 Round Hooks and ¼” Hex Nu
