❌SOLD❌ Deering White Lotus 5-String Banjo Natural, 2019

Brand:

Instrument Categories: ,

This is a lovely Deering White Lotus 5-string banjo, built using American White Oak, with a stained Maple fingerboard, but without a tone ring.  The choices of woods are interesting, being aimed at musicality and sustainability;  these are native to the area where the instrument was built. Tonally, this is a very successful combination and as a definite bonus, this banjo weighs less than the average Les Paul!

This Deering White Lotus is in great condition with only very minor wear, and the original Deering hard shell case is included.

Here’s the builder on the Deering White Lotus 5-string banjo:

“The bluegrass inspired Deering White Lotus banjo, named for its lotus flower inspired inlay pattern, is centered around the patented white oak rim. Notably lacking a traditional heavy tone ring, the natural white oak rim closely recreates a bright, crisp bluegrass punch, ushering in a new era in playing comfort and sound for today’s banjo player.”
