Description

For Clawhammer or Frailing banjoists who prefer a scooped neck to ease plucking their banjos over the fingerboard Deering has made the the Vega Old Tyme Wonder. A traditional "scoop″ has been built in that allows more room for the fingers and thumb of the right hand to pluck the strings over the fingerboard. We steam and bend our violin grade maple rim and install a fiberskyn head over the rim, attaching 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 Tyme Wonder has received great reviews from players of all types who need a professional level banjo without breaking your budget.

It is the mellowest banjo sound, a lovely full tone. The Old Tyme Wonder is reliable and exceptional in tone, playability, versatility and responsiveness, with a round woody tone perfect for old time string bands.
