Crafted with the precision of every Tenbrooks banjo out of highly figured violin grade maple for the ultimate tonal power and sparkle. It is so alive with sound that you can feel the vibrations through the back of the banjo as you play. The sound carries clearly greater distances than other banjos. This banjo is for the dedicated musician who appreciates versatility in communicating with the audience through music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrisp Maple with a brilliant full bodied tone, deep bass, brilliant highs, The Saratoga Star is one of the most elegantly beautiful modern banjos to enter the musical arena of classic instruments. Greg Deering personally designed the inlays with an Art Nouveau style in mind. Reminiscent of the Victorian Era, this high grade maple banjo stands out as a top of the line professional instrument, at home on the concert stages throughout the world. It is played by world renowned banjoists like Bela Fleck, 2007 IBMA Banjo Player of the Year - Tony Trischka, Joe Bonsal of the Oak Ridge Boys, and Ned Luberecki.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Wood: Quartersawn A Grade Curly Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Shape: Slender \"D\" Shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStain: Custom \"Tenbrooks Red\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: High Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Material: Bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Deering Planetary Banjo Tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5th String Tuner: Deering Gotoh Geared 5th String Tuner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: 22 Glued in Nickel Silver Frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard: AAA Grade Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Original Art Nouveau Mother Of Pearl \u0026amp; Abalone Inlays in Fingerboard and in Triple Bound Peghead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePot\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRim: 3-Ply Violin Grade Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRim Diameter: 11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTone Ring: Reutschi | Kruger Bell Bronze Tone Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHead: 11\" Top Frosted Medium Crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTension Hoop: Notched Brass Tension Hoop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHooks \u0026amp; Nuts: 24 Round J-Hooks and 1\/4″ Hex Nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlange: Tenbrooks One Piece Cast Floating Zinc Flange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmrest: Deering Armrest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware Plating: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: 11\/16\" Deering Smile Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTailpiece: Deering True Tone Tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Hand Finished Satin Polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eResonator\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResonator Wood: \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResonator Finish: High Gloss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResonator Sidewalls: Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResonator Diameter: 13 7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResonator Stain: Custom \"Tenbrooks Red\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Width at the Nut: 1 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length Nut to Bridge: 26 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRim Diameter: 11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverall Instrument Length: 38\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight Approx.: 11 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Deering Banjos\u003cbr\u003eModel: SS-06\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I355883-N-0-WHXE\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 840394082509\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
