Deering John Hartford 5-String Banjo Feature

• Grenadillo wood tone ring.
• Maple neck and resonator.
• Ebony Fingerboard with steamboat Gothic inlays.
• Adjustable tailpiece
• Tone ring ages like a violin.

The American-made Hartford model banjo, designed and built for legendary banjoist/performer John Hartford, has the world renonwn Deering Grenadillo (wood) tone ring. The dark walnut stained, satin finished maple neck and resonator are highlighted by the Steamboat-style, fingerboard inlays and Paramount style peghead. No other banjo in the world sounds like a Hartford. Powerful, sweet, warm and rich with no shortage of volume makes this banjo super versatile as well as lighter in weight than a bronze tone ring banjo. The wood tone ring ages like a violin or guitar, faster than bronze tone ring banjos.
