The Deering B6 banjo is designed to give any guitar player the immediate ability to play a banjo instantly without having to learn any new fingerings, chords, or techniques. Made in USA. For the 6-string guitar player who wants a banjo sound. Serial number J772.
The Boston neck is a slender, low profile neck that is shaped for fast accurate fingering. The ebony finger board is
polished to a fast smooth surface making slides hammer-ons pull offs and all left hand fingering techniques faster
and easier. The shape is comfortable and natural for large and small hands. Other makes of banjos in this price
range generally do not have ebony fingerboards.
Deerings fret work is accurate and precise to insure accurate intonation over the entire fingerboard.
The guitar style tuners and geared fifth string peg are smooth and accurate and very positive in operation.
The two way adjustable truss rod allows precision adjustment to maintain best playability without buzzing.
The Boston STEEL rim is 3/16 of an inch thick. It's mass gives the banjo a clear, crisp tone that penetrates past
other instruments and is powerfully dynamic. It is often chosen by studio musicians for the clear and clean recordability.
It is also popular with parking lot pickers because of it's sheer volume and dynamic power.
The 11" diameter rim is the standard size that all popular heads are made to fit. The customer can try a variety of
heads to create different tones.
Imported banjos have rims of aluminum or soft wood and pot metal. Neither have the density of Steel and therefore
don't ring clear and bright. The Boston rim rings like a bell because of the weight, density and hardness of the steel.
The massive strength of the steel rim allows the head to be tightened as tight as desired. Banjos with aluminum and
soft wood pots are not strong enough to handle the tight head tension that is crucial for the beautiful banjo tone
that every player wants.
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. |
