Deering Vega Old Tyme Wonder Banjo Demo @ House of Musical Traditions

Uploaded by musicaltraditions on Mar 1, 2009
House of Musical Traditions in Takoma Park, MD (just outside of Washington DC) is a dealer for Deering Banjos. Here we have Mark Sylvester, one of our banjo teachers, demonstrating the Deering Vega Old Tyme Wonder 5-string banjo.
This Vega Old Tyme Wonder is for clawhammer style banjoists who prefer plucking their banjos over the fingerboard where the pot and the neck join. For greater comfort, Deering builds in a traditional scoop that allows more room for the fingers and thumb of the right hand to pluck the strings without hitting the fingerboard. The fingerboard itself is made of hard, dense, colorful, exotic, naturally beautiful ebony.
To re-create the old fashioned sound and appearance, they install a classic no-knot tailpiece, a Fiberskyn head, and Deerings exclusive planetary tuning pegs for a traditional, old time sound. This banjos rim and neck are based on the Vega Little Wonder, but designed specifically for the old time players.
The new Vega banjos are a culmination of years of evolution and development. Surpassing early Vegas in quality and craftsmanship, the new Deering Vega banjos blend the best of todays technology with yesterdays classic tones. This Vega Old Tyme Wonder is a classic example of that.
Retail price on this model is $1,769 including hardshell case. To inquire about our discounted price and availability, contact House of Musical Traditions at hmtmail@hmtrad.com or 301-270-9090. Visit our website at www.musicaltraditions.com.
