Banjo Company introduces an exciting new addition to their
Vega banjo line, the Olde Tyme Wonder!
Responding to the ever increasing interest in American traditional
“old timey” music heard in movies like “O’Brother”
and highly motivated by frequent customer requests, Deering has created
a rich brown-stained, rock maple banjo with a scooped fingerboard
to provide more playing space for clawhammer styling, planetary pegs,
traditional looking fiberskyn head, No-Knot tailpiece, and Vega-style
armrest.Blending the already versatile, warm responsive sound heard
on the Vega Little Wonder, with the new traditional features favored
by clawhammer banjo players, the Olde Tyme Wonder has
a three-ply maple rim, rock maple neck with ebony fingerboard inlaid
with mother of pearl dots, a peghead proudly adorned with the Vega
name in white, a subtlety elegant satin finish, and has been very
modestly price at $995. Intended to approximate the tone of calfskin without the mounting and maintenance inconvenience, the fiberskyn head gives the Olde Tyme Wonder the warm, round, more plunky sound eagerly sought after by frailing style banjoists. The traditional No-Knot tailpiece which places no downward pressure on the banjo strings like more modern tailpieces and lends the banjo the mellower, open, full tone favored by traditional clawhammer players. The single coordinator rod in the pot and the neck with a two-way adjustable truss rod allows the player to adjust the banjo’s playability or action to suit his own style and taste. |
