Deering John Hartford
The John Hartford model has two very special advantages. First -- it is lighter weight than most other bluegrass banjos, and secondly it has an amazing tone. It sounds like a vintage pre-war banjo. But the unusual thing is that as it ages, it "plays-in" like a violin and gains in volume and presence the more it is played. We've seen it out-do even the best bronze tone-ring banjos in jam sessions. Minimum Allowed Advertised Price: $3,299.Call for Special Pricing!
