Deering John Hartford with Custom Pop-Off Resonator: (1 Currently in Stock as of 10/05/04) The Hartford is made of flamed maple and stained to a warm brown. It has the look of a vintage instrument, not glossy, but hand rubbed to create a smooth, fast feel. The "steamboat gothic" inlay pattern 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 "Granadillo tone-ring" made from a wood used on marimbas. This unique tone-ring is mounted on a three-ply maple rim with a zinc flange to create a wood-rim, lighter weight (8 lbs instead of 11 or 12) banjo a very good choice for bluegrass as well as other styles! With the custom option of a pop-on resonator, and assembling the banjo with a light weight tube for open-back playing, you will have a banjo which is easily convertible from open-back to bluegrass style, weighing 6 lbs with the resonator and only 5 lbs without -- the same as a guitar! More expensive to produce than a bell bronze tone-ring, the Hartford tone-ring comes standard on the John Hartford model and can be ordered as a custom option on other models from the Sierra on up the line.
(Retails $3,569.00 + Custom Pop-Off Resonator $125.00/ )

Just Arrived (8/24/04)
Stelling Staghorn with Tony Pass Old Wood Rim: (1 Currently in Stock as of 08/24/04) The Staghorn...In 1975, Alan Munde introduced the Stelling banjo to an international audience by playing the second Staghorn ever made with the Country Gazette. Since then, the Staghorn has remained one of the most desired banjos in the world and has become the trademark model of Stelling Banjo Works. The increasing rarity of the materials such as the highly figured Claro walnut used in the neck and resonator, and the colorful abalone shell out of which the inlays and trim are cut make this model one of the ultimate sound investments. Wood: Figured Claro Walnut...Plating: Nickel (Retails: $5200 Includes the Tony Pass Old Wood Rim at $475.00 Add-On/ on this superb Staghorn: ) SOLD 08/25/04
