Deering Calico 5-string Banjo

Used! Just in on Consignment!

Stunningly Beautiful and Great Sounding!

Used! Just in on consignment from one of our regular clients. A premium quality world class 5-string banjo that is appreciated for its crisp tone with great highs and distinctive bass response. The Deering Calico 5-string is not only beautiful, but it is also exceptionally dynamic with both powerful sound and response providing an excellent tool for all styles of music. Features tapered inside resonator walls for added projection of tone, and glued-in frets. Each fret is fitted to the fingerboard and glued in place so that in the future when the frets are worn out, they can easily be replaced without chipping the fingerboard. You will gain these benefits on every model from the Calico on up the line.

The heart of the Deering Calico banjo is the Deering bronze tone-ring, precisely fitted to the three ply maple rim. The Deering -06- tone ring produces a beautiful, balanced overtone spectrum. Its weight is ideal for most styles played on the banjo. A softer touch will provide you with as much sustain as you ever want, a sharper attack will produce a distinct pop and accurate note separation. You will notice no dead spots over the entire fingerboard. The beautiful highs and powerful well rounded bass is the result of intense study of alloys and shapes resulting in superb sound.

Like all our used / vintage gear this has been tested for functionality and priced to move. Immaculate condition without any serious issues, damage or repairs. Some light oxidation that could easily be polished out with a little elbow grease is about all there is to report. Sold as-is. What you see is what you get.
