| This B-6, Boston 6-string makes an ideal recording
instrument. It’s lighter in weight due to the innovative steel rim construction
that you can also find in our Boston 5 string banjos. In the B-6 this creates
excellent note distinction, clarity, and sparkling crispness making it
one of the all time favorites.
This B-6 is made of tropical American mahogany
which gives it its sweet, round and full tone. It has an arched hard, dense,
colorful, exotic, and naturally beautiful ebony fingerboard. It also features
Deering’s own custom made six string tailpiece, and bridge. These helps
create a superb playing banjo for guitar players. One of the most appealing
aspects of the B-6 is its sleek neck making it comfortable, and easy to
play.
In examining older 6-string banjos, Greg Deering
observed the consistent lack of good tone. After much research he solved
this mystery and now we produce the only 6-string banjos with great sustain
and beautiful tone. Many guitar players are now discovering the new sound
available from playing a Deering 6-string banjo. It can be flat-picked
or finger-picked equally well. We string it with extra light acoustic guitar
strings, however, it does perform well with other string gauges. Anything
you play on a guitar can be played on the 6-string banjo, the sound is
excellent. |
