Today we are featuring the new Deering Dropkick Murphys Boston Model Tenor Banjo.
This tenor banjo was originally custom built for the Dropkick Murphys band and is based on a John Hartford banjo template which features highly figured maple neck and resonator with a Grenadillo wood tone ring fitted to a red maple rim with a standard Deering flange. This banjo is loud, warm and full sounding and at 6.85 pounds it is roughly half of the weight of a normal Tenor banjo due to the weight savings of the wood tone ring. This is without a question the lightest weight professional Tenor banjo we have seen!
The pearl inlay of Shamrock and Anchor Crest speaks to the Dropkick Murphys unique appeal to the working class sports culture of the Boston region. This banjo’s unique position in a rock band setting is made possible by the new Kavanjo pickup fitted to each new Boston model banjo. The new Kavanjo pickup allows you to get awesome banjo tone at any stage volume you need.
When Jeff DaRosa, the banjo player of the band, played the very first Dropkick Murphys Deering Banjo he said, “This thing Rules!! This is the best banjo I’ve ever played!”
Janet Deering shows off the final edition of the new Dropkick Murphys banjo at the January NAMM show.
