DEERING CALICO 5 STRING BANJO WITH DEERING 06 TONE RING & HARDSHELL CASEDEERING AUTHORIZED DEALER (AND BANJO PLAYER :))A premium quality world class 5-string banjo that is appreciated for its crisp tone with great highs and distinctive bass response. The Calico 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. At this price point we add two features, we taper the inside of the resonator walls for added projection of tone, and we also add the feature of 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.The Neck:• Curly Maple with a Honey Stain• Natural Ebony Fingerboard• 22 Glued In Nickel Silver Frets• Mother of Pearl Scroll Inlays• Ivoroid Bound Fingerboard• Multi-color Neck Purfling Trim• Adjustable Truss Rod• Deering Planetary Tuners• Deering Geared 5th String Tuner• Bound Neck and Peghead• Slender, Comfortable Deering Neck Shape• High Gloss FinishThe Pot:• Deering -06- Bell Bronze Tone Ring• Deering Premium Violin Grade 3-ply Maple Rim• Deering Brass Notched Tension Hoop• 11″ Top Frosted Medium Crown Head• 24 Round Hooks with ¼″ Hex Nuts• One Piece Nickel Plated Zinc Flange• 5/8″ Deering Maple/Ebony Bridge• Deering True Tone Tailpiece• Satin FinishResonator:• Curly Maple• Coral Snake Wood Purfling Trim• Ivoroid Binding• Shallow Depth for Quick Response• The Resonator Sides are Specially Tapered on the Inside for Projection of Tone• High Gloss FinishTone:With a brighter tone than mahogany, maple provides a beautiful bass response and great highs.
