Deering II Plectrum Banjo - a really fine 4-string banjo. Usually tuned CGBD or DGBD, or DGBE. Very good condition, original case. I'm the only owner, and take great care of my instruments. See video of me playing it: https://youtu.be/IUYrCvYtm5Y and also https://youtu.be/clfUUvquI38Any questions, just ask. Usually sells for around £1800 to £2,000, so mine is a bargain - very good condition for £1200 plus shipping. Details from Deering website:Neck:Maple Stained a Dark Red MahoganyNatural Ebony Fingerboard22 Pressed In Nickel Silver FretsOriginal Eagle Engraved InlaysSlender Deering Neck ShapeFully Adjustable Truss RodPlanetary Banjo TunersGloss Finish Pot:Deering Patent Pending Twenty-Ten Tone RingThree-Ply Violin Grade Maple RimTrue Tone Deering TailpieceDeering Brass Notched Tension Hoop11″ Bottom Frosted Medium Crown Head24 Round Hooks and ¼″ Hex Nuts24 Bracket Shoes  Eagle 2-Piece FlangeSlender Shaped Armrest5/8" Maple Bridge With Ebony TopNickel Plated HardwareResonator:Maple Stained Red Mahogany White BindingStraight Inside Resonator SidewallsGloss Finish Includes a Deering Hardshell Case Tone: A strong mid range tone with good bass and vibrant highsTuned: C (or D),G,B,D in standard tuningCan easily be tuned in other tunings as well. Dimensions:Neck Width at the Nut 1 3/16″Scale Length Nut to Bridge 26 1/4″Resonator diameter 13 7/8″Overall Instrument Length 38″
