Deering White Lotus Banjo - Lightweight Bluegrass Banjo

Bright & Crisp Lightweight Bluegrass Banjo The Deering White Lotus banjo is an incredibly clear, crisp, and full sounding banjo - and it doesn't feature a tone ring! The white oak rim matched with the white oak neck and resonator sound great together. Without the tone ring, this banjo is very lightweight. Your back will thank you if nothing else! The White Lotus Banjo from Deering, boasting a unique lotus flower inlay pattern, is centered around a patent pending white oak rim. This wood composition, sans the traditional heavy tone ring, accurately mimics the renowned bright, crisp bluegrass sound whilst also offering unbeatable playing comfort for today's banjo players. Comes with 5th string spikes installed at the Deering shop at frets 7, 9, and 10. The White Lotus also comes with a Deering hardshell case and lifetime warranty.
