Boston 6-String Banjo
Tuned like a Guitar, Guitar players can get up and go with this 6-string banjo – Uniquely Deering, the Boston Banjo breaks with tradition and provides a professional quality sound at a lower price point by creating the rim from 3/16″ rolled steel which rings like a tone ring. Also, upgrading the accuracy of tuning by way of guitar tuners with a higher gear ratio than the traditional banjo tuners.. The uniquely Deering Inlay pattern gives you visual beauty enhancing the great performance. This banjo is the preferred sound in country recording studios and in non-traditional bands like the Keith Urban Band. You can hear this banjo played on Keith Urban songs like “Someone Like You” and his Grammy award winning “Sweet Thing.”
It has big resonant bass notes that you don’t find on a 5-string banjo, and also crisp highs for that beautiful banjo tone.

This brief video demonstrates the steps involve in disassembly of the amadinda. A key point here, as mentioned in the video, is to only first slide back the carriage bolts on the first end to be removed. Although not entirely critical, this prevents the last stanchion to be removed from falling either forward or backward while working on the first end and provides stability that will greatly simplifiy the disassembly process. Once the first end is removed, slide the carriage bolts on the remaining stanchion back enough to clear the crosspieces and remove that stanchion. I recommend always leaving the crosspieces bolted together for storage or transport. If they are detached from each other and subsequently re-attached with an outside face toward the other crosspiece’s inside, confusion will result. However, I have penciled an “X” at the center inner face of each crosspiece to assist their correct reassembly if this happens.
