Beautiful Deering Boston 5-String Banjo w/Hard Shell Case and Extras. I hate to part with it, but it is time to sell my beloved Deering Banjo. I am selling it at almost half the retail cost. The banjo lists at $1,999.00, and the hard shell case sells for $219.00, for a total cost of $2,218. I am throwing in a beautiful Levy leather strap ($60), a brand new Shubb banjo capo ($20), a pack of Martin banjo strings, and thumb/finger picks. It is inexcellent condition - the only blemish is a small dent on the neck which doesn\'t effect play or structure (see picture). This is a solid and heavy banjo, weighing in at almost ten pounds. The resonator is mahogany. The heavy duty case has five latches and keys to lock it. You will not be disappointed with this banjo! Here is the description from the Deering website: Uniquely Deering, the Boston banjo breaks with tradition and provides a professional quality sound at a lower price point by creating the drum from 3/16″ rolled steel which rings like a tone ring and upgrading the accuracy of tuning with guitar style tuners with a higher gear ratio. The uniquely Deering inlay pattern gives you visual beauty enhancing the great performance. Neck:
