1 Available*
Deering John Hartford 5-string Resonator Banjo with pop-off resonator.
A Deering original with a Grenadillo tone ring, a light weight bluegrass banjo designed by Greg Deering specially for John Hartford.
The Hartford banjo is made of flamed maple and stained to a deep brown. It has the look of a vintage instrument.
The inlay reflects John's enthusiasm for steamboats.
Greg's years of experience with various woods combined with John's research into the design of vintage banjos culminated in the idea of using a Grenadillo tone ring made from a wood used on marimbas. This unique tone ring is mounted on our three-ply violin grade maple rim with a zinc flange to create lighter weight, (8 lbs instead of 11 or 12) banjo.
The Grenadillo wood tone ring will mature like a violin or guitar. With consistent use, the the volume of this banjo will increase dramatically.
Hardshell case included.
