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. Te uniquely Deering inlay patern gives you visual beauty enhancing the great performance. Tis banjo is oſten the preferred sound in country recording studios, and in non-traditional bands like the Keith Urban Band.
“Te Boston has quite a history behind it. When we started out to build Deering Banjos the very first banjo we made was called the Intermediate and the heart, or basic guts of that banjo is a relatively new concept and that is that the pot is made out of steel. Te steel has good weight and a very good ring for a banjo that is made in a litle bit of a lower price range. Te inspiration came from a gentleman that used to make banjos up on Mount San Jacinto in a community called Idyllwild. His name was Dave Sleeter.
Te interesting thing about the steel rim is that when we first started making it we went to the San Diego Bluegrass Club. When we got out of the car we could hear the parking lot picking going on and there would always be one banjo that I could hear all the way across the parking lot. We started to notice that almost every time it was a Boston . Tat steel rim has a really good clarity of tone. It carries really well and will project beyond banjos that cost a lot more. It is a really good jamming banjo.
We call it the Boston because of the banjo heritage of the city of Boston. Over a 100 years ago the Mecca the banjo world was centered around the city of Boston.” Greg Deering
