The popular maple banjo now with chrome-plated hardware!
When the first Deering Maple Blossom arrived in our shop, the sound quality nearly blew us away. The Maple Blossom is an excellent banjo with a crisp, clear tone.
The Eastern hard-rock maple neck and resonator are stained a walnut color, and trimmed in white binding with a decorative black stripe. The feel of binding provides a more comfortable neck. Flower shaped mother-of-pearl inlays are set in an ebony fingerboard. The three-ply maple rim, sand-cast virgin bell bronze tone-ring and zinc flange construction generate an excellent tone in the Maple Blossom. These features and price make the Maple Blossom one of the favorites. Made in USA.
The Maple Blossom banjo offers more inlay art, higher grade of wood, fancier binding, richer finish, brighter crisper tone, clear yet full and rich harmonic response and more dynamic acoustic power, than any banjo in this price range. It's more banjo for the money.
The sand-cast, Virgin bell bronze Tone Ring is the same one used in the Deering Gabriella banjo ($25,900). Casting in sand aligns the grain of the bronze for the best musical response. While it is an expensive process, it is proven and time tested by bell makers around the world to deliver the most beautiful tone.
The tone ring is precisely fitted to a three-ply, hard-rock maple rim that is the state-of-the-art in banjo building. This fit is extremely important for vibrant, responsive and clear banjo tone.
The one-piece cast resonator flange is thicker and stronger than that of most banjos regardless of price. The zinc alloy allows the warm harmonics to come through.
The walnut-stained, curly hard-rock maple neck has a bound fingerboard and white capped heel. The neck is slender low profile and shaped for fast accurate fingering. The rock maple neck contributes to the bright, crisp tone of the Maple Blossom.
The smooth, polished ebony fingerboard is decorated with Mother-of-Pearl-flower inlays that are elegant, delicate and classic in design: showcasing Deerings world-renowned workmanship and also provide helpful fingering position markers so the player can easily see what notes are being fingered.
The two-way adjustable truss rod provides precision adjustment to maintain superb playability without buzzing.
The artistic and acoustic features of the Maple Blossom are comparable to competitive banjos that cost 20% more.
Note: Our banjos are individually inspected, set up and tuned by the banjo.com staff in Georgia. We are banjo players, so we set them up the way we want to play them! Each banjo is in tune when we carefully pack it for shipment. Climate conditions and travel will affect the tuning, so it may need to be fine-tuned before playing. |
