The Deering Boston 5-String Banjo combines professional-level tone and craftsmanship in a form that’s approachable for serious players. Crafted in the U.S.A., the Boston features a 3⁄16″ rolled-steel rim that delivers crisp clarity and projection like a traditional tone ring, while its slender “D”-shape neck and ebony fingerboard offer comfortable, fast playability.

Whether you’re moving up into serious banjo territory or simply demanding a richer voice in your ensemble, the Boston offers sought-after tone and build quality without unnecessary fluff.
