UBB29651 We hope none of the Banjophiles out there will be offended if we say that this turn-of-the-Century mini Stewart is 'cute'. Despite its cuteness, it is every bit one of the great sounding spunover rim open back five strings that S.S. Stewart is so well known for. The Stewarts all has nicely decorated fingerboards and pegheads, and the beauty of this one truly matches its tone. It is a rare and wonderful thing. With gig bag. more information »

The Deering 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.
This banjo offers an ebony fingerboard (this used to be a custom option). The flame Eastern hard rock maple of the neck and resonator are stained with a cremona sunburst stain. Mother-of-pearl inlays are the traditional "Hearts and Flowers" pattern.
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.
You can hear the sound of the Golden Era banjo on many albums by fine musicians such as John Hickman and Byron Berline's "Double Trouble" album, Josh Williams' "Old Town of Home" album, and on Herb Pedersen's Desert Rose Band album, "Life Goes On". This banjo ships in a Deering hardshell case and is fully factory warrantied.

As the name implies this fabulous banjo is an example of just what wood can do all on its own. This bluegrass banjo has no tone ring !!!. Rather it has a very inventive Pass rim. Just keep the head tension up on this banjo and you will get a surprisingly powerful response. Also, this banjo weighs far less than a typical resonator banjo. Other features include figured walnut neck and resonator, ornate fingerboard and peghead inlays, planetary pegs & geared 5th peg, ebony fretboard, chrome plated hardware, bound neck and resonator, railroad spikes at frets 7, 9 & 10, includes shaped wooden hardshell case.

UBB28108 This is the open back spunover rim classic that Lyon & Healy sold by the hundreds, nay, thousands to parlour banjo players in the early 20th Century. They were originally outfitted with gut strings and produced the sparkling melodies of Messrs. Bach & Mozart and such. A whole lot of them found their way to the Southern Mountain region of the United States where a new possum hide head and some metal strings from the Sears catalog produced the clawhammer tunes danced to by the local inhabitants. Later years of course, along came the great folk revival where college kids from the city studied their Roscoe Holcomb, Buell Kazee and Doc Boggs until it drove their dorm-mates crazy. At the heart of it all, was many an instrument just like this Lyon & Healy Mystic. In the hands of great local players such as Tom Sauber, Dave Swarens, John Wright, Chris Cooper or Phil Boroff, it can produce those same sweet tones. In your hands, it might just become the next "big thing". With gig bag. more information »
