Te Many Styles of Tone Rings We Produce
Tone Rings
Deering -06- 20 Hole Bronze Tone Ring - Released in 2006, Is made of a special bronze alloy that allows a strong bass, clear highs, and musical mids. Deering’s new ’06 Tone Ring is one of the cleanest sounding tone rings ever produced. Te individual note separation, beauty and power up and down the neck is what a serious banjo player is looking for and will find in the -06 tone ring. Tis tone ring makes the banjo work in every musical genre.
Jens Kruger Tone Ring - Te tone ring made by the Reutschi Foundry in Switzerland is in fact the only pure bell bronze tone ring on the market. At a tin content of 21%, and a copper content of 79%, the alloy has the least internal damping of all bronzes. Tis results in a very long smooth ringing sustain of the ring. Te Reutschi tone ring is lighter than the -06- and reacts a litle quicker and is more sensitive to input. Tis special tone ring is comparable to a race car and mainly used by professionals. Te main feature is a longer note sustain when played lightly and a greater note separation when played hard. It really rings like a bell.
Tubaphone Tone Ring – Dating back to 1906, and still prized today, this all brass tone ring is hand made in the Deering factory. A spun brass outer shell, and square tubular inner ring with round sound holes, these components create a light weight tone ring with a warm, round, vibrant tone. Tis tone ring design has been a favorite of great dixieland players, resembles the holy grail for the old time banjoists, and had it’s big revival in the folk era with Pete Seeger and the Kingston Trio in the Vega Long Necks.
“My Deering Tubaphone feels great and has a robust, clear sound that makes it one of my favorite banjos to play.” - Mark Schatz
Senator Tone Ring – Specially designed for clawhammer style players, this tone ring helps define the rhythm and adds lots of stability to the tone. Tis spun brass hoop provides a warm and melodic sound.
Hartord Grenadillo Tone Ring – Made of the same wood used for marimba keys, bassoons and clarinets, this tone ring has a beautifully warm, round, full and rich tone that is capable of tremendous volume. It ages like a violin and gains in volume as the years go by. With less sustain than a bronze tone ring yet capable of great projection, players get an increased bass note response with a deeper, rich tone made famous by the late John Hartord for whom the tone ring was developed. John called the tone “round & fruity”. When combined with the pop-on resonator option, you have the lightest weight banjo with the most powerful punch!
NEW Patent Pending Goodtime Special Steel Tone Ring – A Deering Banjos original design. Tis tone ring gives the banjo more volume and definition that is easily heard in a band seting. Te New Goodtime Special Tone Ring improves the sound of the Goodtime Special banjos - giving them a classic bluegrass tone.
Boston Rim – A steel rim with a very pleasant uniform sound that is surprisingly loud especially in jam sessions. You will find this rim very convincing. Even though the Boston is not one of the highest priced banjos, there are quite a lot of players who just love its distinct sound.
