DESCRIPTION:
Here is a Deering Vega Old Tyme Wonder 5 string open back banjo from 2015.
The Deering Vega Old Tyme Wonder is built for Clawhammer banjoists who prefer a scooped neck to ease plucking their banjos over the fingerboard. The 12 inch rim provides a warmer, thicker ‘Old Tyme’ sound.
Deering builds in a traditional ‘frailing scoop’ that allows more room for the fingers and thumb of the right hand to pluck the strings over the fingerboard.
The Vega Old Tyme Wonder rim is built of steamed and bent violin grade maple, with a fiberskyn head installed over the rim and a classic “no knot tailpiece” is attached for a traditional old time sound. This is a lightweight banjo that is made especially for musicians who want the warmer tones that go well in a string band with a fiddle and bass.
The 12 inch rim on the Deering Vega Old Tyme Wonder provides the mellowest banjo sound with a lovely full tone. The Vega Old Tyme Wonder is reliable and exceptional in tone, playability, versatility and responsiveness, with a round woody tone perfect for old time string bands.
This example is in great overall condition with very little cosmetic wear and it plays cleanly up the neck. It comes with original hard-shell case.
