Deering banjos cost more than some other brands but make no mistake - the quality and sound are very apparent. The Old Tyme Wonder was my first openback banjo and it will be my last because I've found nothing that surpasses it. As a female player, I wanted that special old timey sound - rich, full, mellow and never tinny. I got it in this banjo. It's lightweight, pretty, solidly made, and very comfortable to play. Deerings are made in California and their customer service is excellent. On several occasions I've emailed them with questions on set-up, string type, etc. and have always received a prompt, personal answer. Carolyn Bridges from Deering is extremely knowledgeable. If you want a quality, great sounding openback banjo from a company that backs up their products, you should definitely consider this one.

The American made Vega Old Tyme Wonder banjo is THE classic banjo for clawhammer style picking.Clawhammer players often prefer plucking their banjos over the fingerboard where the pot and the neck join.Deering builds in a traditional scoop for fingers and thumb to pluck the strings without hitting the fingerboard.A fiberskyn head, no-knot tailpiece and planetary tuners re-create the old fashioned sound and appearance. The maple rim and neck are based on the Vega Little Wonder but designed specifially for Old Time Players.The best of history made new today.

Rover RB-35 Resonator 5 String Banjo Review

I've been playing this banjo everyday for close to four weeks. It's bright, clear, loud and stays in tune fairly well, however the tuners slip a bit. Additionally, I've replaced the strings with GHS PF140 light strings. The new strings did make a difference, as the sound improved. All things considered, this banjo is an excellent value.

Rover Banjos look back to the late 1920's and early 1930's to some of the best known banjos of the era as the inspiration for the RB-35 Resonator 5-string instruments. In addition, to the use of professional features and standard dimensions, the hallmark of any Rover banjo design, Saga chose to use aluminum as the rim material because of its characteristic tone, power and projection. Characteristics that cannot be found in similar style wood rim instruments.
