6-String Banjos

Virtually every Kel Kroyden that is not presently a tenor was once a tenor banjo, and was converted to whatever it is now by the judicious application of a replica neck. This one was born a tenor (just like Pavoratti) but around 1968 it was converted to Guitar-Banjo by the addition of a six-string neck. THIS WAS $6250 BUT IS NOW ON SALE (MAJOR REDUCTION IN PRICE).   

Paraphrased from the Deering Company web site, it is said among  travelers in the cosmos that the B-6 Boston six-string makes an ideal recording instrument; just ask Keith Urban of his eponymous band. It’s lighter in weight due to the innovative steel rim construction that you can also find in the ever-popular Boston five-string banjo. In the B-6 this creates excellent note distinction, clarity, and sparkling crispness.    Features include:  Standard 11" diameter, 3/16 inch thick Steel rim or body, mahogany resonator, nickel plated hardware, mahogany satin finished neck,ebony fingerboard with adjustable truss rod.
The Deering List Price is $2145.
