A Tenbrooks-series banjo. Hold your horses! This new line of banjos from Deering would stop even Seabiscuit in his tracks! The Tenbrooks series offers a fine, clean, bright sound. Features a maple neck and resonator. Made in USA.
Named for the famed Kentucky Derby winning steed, this instrument is destined to out-distance itself from other great banjos. It may be the most memorable banjo you'll ever own.
Banjo virtuoso Jens Kruger wanted a special tone ring that would enhance the extreme low frequencies that support and complement the banjo's unique construction. Working with the 600-year-old Ruetschi Bell Foundry in Switzerland, Jens and metalurgists developed a tone ring with the evenly-crystalized molecular structure that makes an exceptional sound. Casting this bronze tone ring requires mastery of the maching process and extreme precision. To prevent any loss of the far-reaching tonal spectrum, the tone ring is not plated with gold, silver or nickel. Instead, it's finished to a shimmering, lustrous high polish, and then treated with linseed oil.
Banjo craftsman Greg Deering, inspired by the expertise of his collaborators, designed a special tailpiece and elegant inlay patterns for the Tenbrooks line of banjos. He and Jens Kruger redesigned the flange to a lighter configuration, and even streamlined the armrest.
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. |
