Touted by some as the ultimate banjo tone, it's prized for it's full, round and yet sparkling tone and for its depth, responsiveness and power. For years, only affluent collectors could afford tubaphone banjos made early in the 20th century -anyone who wanted one would search and pay premium prices for these coveted instruments. Those days are gone. This is the first of a new breed of traditional style banjo that offers all the tone, dynamics, sparkle, power, depth and full tone and more. The fit and finish of this instrument are second to none and is part of the continuing evolution of this legendary heritage. This Deering Vega Tubaphone Banjo comes with a hard case as well.

In excellent plus condition. The Golden Era banjo is a unique model of the Deering line. It's designed to reproduce the most sought-after five-string banjos of the pre-war era. The unique features of the Golden Era are the thicker neck shape which creates more sustain and the deeper resonator which provides that warm gutsy tone. The Maple rim is turned to traditional dimensions and mounted with a zinc flange, twenty-hole virgin bell bronze tone-ring and presto style tailpiece with careful attention to original dimensions to recreate the sound and performance traditionalists desire.Includes Deering hardshell case USED

A maple stripe accentuates the black binding around the resonator and the side of the ebony fingerboard. The banjo head is made of black mylar so the color will not scratch off. You get the same three-ply maple rim, virgin bell bronze sand cast tone-ring, zinc flange and nickel plated hardware on the Black Diamond that you get on the most expensive Deering models. A very refined, elegant-looking banjo with a sweet sound. Retail is $3599. Minimum advertised price is $2,699. Please call us for more information.
