  • Excellent. Thank you.

  • No, I AM in US (RI) but most ironically, the cheapest place to buy the banjo was not here, but there! I actually called Deering and they gave me an explanation which basically stated they keep the retail price and allow merchants to set their own price. As Eagle is a reputable company and sets the banjos up for Irish tenor I'm happy. Not too many Irish tenor players on our side of the pond as on yours! As a result, tons of five string banjos but hard to track down a four string Calico!

  • Sounds great! And I just ordered a new Calico from Eagle Music...can't wait!

  • Money well spent. You will love it. Eagle in England. Thats where mine came from. Are u not in the US?

  • Is that a Deering Calico tenor? If so, I'm curious as to how you got a darker tone out of it than I've heard from them before?

  • It is indeed. Not sure really. It is just a standard set up with medium gauge phospher bronze strings. It must just be the way I play - perhaps a little further off the bridge than most?

  • @danny4bullits

    Nice playing, thanks lads.

    The dark sound could be because the head has not been tightened in a long time, and may have relaxed a bit ??

  • You guys don't happen to have a tab for the banjo?

    :)

  • No sorry. Just picked it up from a recording by Enda Scahill.

  • @danny4bullits

    I will take pleasure in knowing the tuning then , as it sounds different from mine. :)
