Brand: Deering Banjos
Instrument Categories: Banjos, Left Handed, SOLD
The Deering Calico Lefty 5-String Banjo is one of the absolute best, professional grade banjos available in left-handed, and this one comes with both the standard case and a flight case. It is also equipped with a Schatten pickup, Keith tuner, and five capo tacks.
This fine banjo is in very good condition with only light wear, and has been well set up and maintained. The original Deering case is included, along with a powder-blue lightweight flight case.
Here is what the maker says about the Deering Calico Lefty banjo:
“With a brighter tone than mahogany, maple provides a beautiful bass response and great highs. The Deering Calico Lefty 5-string banjo plays string to string and up the neck at a consistent clarity and excellent volume so it is easily heard amongst a band.
The Deering Calico Lefty is a premium quality, world class 5-string banjo that is appreciated for its crisp tone with great highs and distinctive bass response. The Calico is not only beautiful, but it is also exceptionally dynamic with both powerful sound and response providing an excellent tool for all styles of music. At this price point we add two features, we taper the inside of the resonator walls for added projection of tone, and we also add the feature of glued-in frets. Each fret is fitted to the fingerboard and glued in place so that in the future when the frets are worn out, they can easily be replaced without chipping the fingerboard.”
