The Deering 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.
