  • Featuring a 12" rim, this banjo is for clawhammer banjoists who are looking for a classic old time banjo sound. Deering builds in a traditional "scoop″ that allows more room for the fingers and thumb of the right hand to pluck the strings over the fingerboard. The violin grade maple rim is steamed and bent in house keeping the quality consistently very high. A fiberskyn head is installed over the rim, and a classic "no knot tailpiece″ for a traditional old time sound. This is a light weight banjo that is made especially for musicians who want the warmer tones that go well in a string band with a fiddle and bass.

    The Old Time Wonder is reliable and exceptional in tone, playability, versatility and responsiveness, with a round woody tone perfect for old time string bands.
