Description

Total versatility for the professional player is Greg Deering's goal in creating the Tenbrooks line of banjos so that the banjo does not limit the player, but the banjo rises to meet the player at the peak of their expertise and is as responsive as a racehorse. The lively bell tone with great sustain, the even tone from string to string and all the way up the neck, and the active response of the banjo to the players style come together to make this an awe inspiring new evolution in banjo design. Greg Deering and Jens Krüger combined forces with the goal of raising the banjo as an instrument to a higher level of performance musically, so that banjoists are not limited in their scope of achievement. This was the concept that motivated the design of the Tenbrooks banjos. Accomplishing this required a considerable amount of research and a better understanding of tone-ring design. Banjo Virtuoso Jens Krüger realized the need for a new tone-ring that would enhance the extreme low frequencies that support and compliment banjo tone. This required a fresh approach to tone-ring manufacture. Jens Krüger guided it along in working with the Swiss Rüetschi Bell Foundry, having 600+ years of experience in metallurgy, and drawing on that knowledge while also incorporating innovative techniques they developed a tone-ring with the evenly crystallized molecular structure which is necessary to create this very exceptional tone. This type of molecular structure can usually only be accomplished in huge bell castings. But the breakthrough came when they discovered how to accomplish this in a smaller casting for Deering's Tenbrooks banjos with the Jens Krüger tone-ring. Inspired by the expertise of his collaborators, Greg Deering designed the elegant inlay patterns seen on these inaugural members of the Tenbrooks line. Reminiscent of the art nouveau styles popular during the 1920's and 30's these designs are classic and elegant, giving the Tenbrooks banjo line a visual beauty, clarity, and purity to match the extraordinary tonal character of each of these banjos.

Greg Deering re-evaluated all of the components of the Tenbrooks pot assembly. He redesigned the flange to a lighter configuration. Even the armrest has been streamlined and re-sculpted to create a profile that is both comfortable and elegant. The Tenbrooks neck profile is more of the traditional neck shape enjoyed by many of today's top banjo performers. Incorporating the traditional paramount peghead profile, an ebony peghead overlay and fingerboard, and bearing the Deering name in a mother-of-pearl inlay, the neck has both traditional appeal and a fresh new look. When you play one of the new Tenbrooks banjos you'll find a whole new world of music opening up to you with expanding possibilities.
