Deering Banjo Company Creates New Legacy

Deering Banjo Company’s new Legacy model banjo is creating ripples of excitement throughout the banjo community! A legacy is something of worth that is passed on from a predecessor. True to its name, the new Deering Legacy mahogany banjo outshines all others on the market with its ability to capture the classic bluegrass sound sought out by the fast-driving professional banjo player. World-renowned banjoist Jens Kruger has hailed Deering’s new Legacy model as “a new step in the evolution of the banjo.” He and master craftsman, Greg Deering along with the 600-year-old Reutschi Bell Foundry of Switzerland have combined their boundless love of the banjo and its music along with the advancements of today’s technology to create a banjo unequaled in the history of America’s favorite instrument!
Introduced at the January Anaheim NAMM trade show, current sales are illustrating that this Legacy is one that has universal appeal. The mahogany Legacy banjo will surprise them with that wonderful bluegrass bite without the loss of sustain that other mahogany banjos experience due to the marvelous new Jens Kruger tonering. The Legacy is the first of the new Tenbrooks banjo line that Deering released featuring the Jens Kruger tonering and refinements that perfect these models to surpass the normal standards of banjo construction to create a new level of professional banjo.
Two years of research and development were poured into creating a tonering with an evenly crystallized molecular structure that gives the Tenbrooks banjos very exceptional tone that is “open and free of any disturbing overtones” according to master banjoist Jens Kruger. This type of molecular structuring is usually accomplished only in huge bell castings. The Legacy model is very loud and has tremendous note separation. Introduced in the huge trade show halls of the Anaheim Convention Center, on-lookers could hear it’s clear, clean, quick, and dynamic sound ringing over the hubbub of the show’s vendors.
“This banjo can function in any situation right out of the case,” says Jens Kruger whose group the Kruger Brothers plays for audiences all over the world! With the new improved Deering tailpiece, a classic deeper resonator, a new, slender and elegant armrest, and a lighter weight zinc flange, the Deering’s Legacy banjo feels like a classic. Easy to play and beautiful to look at, this is the banjo every banjoist dreams about. Deering Banjo Company says “They build dreams, one banjo at a time” and it looks like the Legacy is the professional banjo players dream come true!
