If you want a banjo that is as beautiful as it sounds, you will cherishowning an Ivanhoe. We reserve the most highly figured walnutfor the neck and rare pieces of exotic burl walnut veneer for theresonator. The inside walls of the resonator are tapered for loudand clear projection of the wonderfully vibrant tone.

You’ll find superb craftsmanship in every aspect of the Ivanhoe,from the triple bound peghead to the hand-carved heel and thesuperbly engraved gold plated metal parts. It has an intricatelypierced armrest, accented with elegant floral engraving.

We also do something very special with the inlays by settingabalone shell into mother-of-pearl and then inlaying them bothflawlessly into the ebony fingerboard.

The abalone adds a colorfulsparkle of blue, green and red to the white mother-of-pearl inlays.Also, the resonator and our violin grade maple rim are trimmedwith the multi-colored hand set abalone shell and ivoroid binding.

The neck is fully adjustable and our Deering -06- bronze tone ringgives it a clarity, purity and richness of tone.

The Ivanhoe is a beautiful gold plated & engraved banjo with aquick response that is perfect for bluegrass or melodic playing.

It can be sweet yet bright or bold and powerful with a tonethat projects well and enhances all musical styles.

Versatile andcomfortable, the Ivanhoe is a favorite amongst performers wholike the fast Deering neck shape and the instantaneous response of a great banjo.
