This Black Diamond has been called elegant, progressive, modern, gorgeous and sweet. Actually, they are all true. The genuine Deering bell bronze tone ring, three ply maple rim and one piece cast zinc flange, the same that is used on all of our upper line banjos like the Calico, GDL, Ivanhoe etc, are the musical foundation on which this musical masterpiece is built.

If you look closely at the hard, colorful, exotic, unstained, naturally beautiful ebony fingerboard, you will see the custom touch of our master luthiers’ hands in the engraved mother of pearl diamond inlays. The ebony peghead overlay also has a mother of pearl Deering banner and a delightfully elegant mother of pearl diamond cluster also displaying the master’s artful engraving.

Look along the side of the neck and the sides of the resonator and you’ll see the delicate stripes of blond maple that artfully contrast to the black binding on the resonator and the dark edge of the ebony fingerboard. The black shiny head and these beautiful aesthetic features give this Black Diamond a unique tone and progressive look that is both beautiful and irresistible.
