The Maple Blossom is an excellent banjo with a crisp, clear tone. The Eastern hard rock maple neck and resonator are stained a walnut color, and trimmed in white binding with a decorative black stripe. The feel of binding provides a more comfortable neck. Flower shaped mother-of-pearl inlays are set in an ebony fingerboard. The three-ply maple rim, sand cast virgin bell bronze tone-ring and zinc flange construction generate an excellent tone in the Maple Blossom. These features and price make the Maple Blossom one of the favorites. This banjo sports a high gloss finish and we are including a Deering hard shell case. List price is $3838. SALE ~ $2750 !
