Description

The Maple Blossom is made from Eastern violin grade curly maple and stained with a dark walnut stain. When this individually selected wood is built into a banjo with the genuine Deering  bronze tone ring, 3-ply violin grade maple rim, and one piece zinc flange, the result is a banjo that is so bright, crisp and clear that every note pops out of this banjo with precision and power. This banjo plays and sounds great! Spike capos have been installed at the 7th, 9th and 10th frets. There are a few very tiny chips on the headstock and elsewhere, like the resonator, but there aren’t many and they are very small. A touch of tarnish on the metal parts and just faint play wear elsewhere. This banjo is in very good condition and comes with it’s original Deering hard case.
