I have friends who are accomplished professional pickers, and I feel their envy anytime that I pull out my Calico. But, the truth is, I don't play nearly often enough to legitimize holding onto a banjo of this quality. This banjo sounds very good and has no issues. It has a resonator but it is very light weight-wise for a resonator banjo. Which makes it a great way to save money on a pristine Deering Banjo. This guy looks like it was only played a few times. I purchased in a fit of banjo frenzy, justifying the big purchase with the "investment" rationale. Up for sale is a great Deering Goodtime II Left Handed Banjo. I bought this banjo two years ago on for $2,600, and I don't think I've done a thing to depreciate it, but $400 seems like a fair rental fee to deduct from the original price of my overzealous purchase. I lean more towards the fiddle and guitar these days anyways. Barry describes it, the perfect working musicians banjo for hard core. It's hard to let such a fine thing out of my possession, but an instrument of this quality needs more attention than I'm giving it. Lowest prices guaranteed on over 200 American-made models No. I have been researching entry-intermediate level banjos to fulfill a post. You really couldn't ask for more in a banjo.

I've got a beautiful Deering Calico Banjo for sale for $2,200.Įverything on the banjo is exactly as it came from the Deering Factory, and I'd honestly say that it's in almost as good of condition too (the only reason that I didn't list it as "mint condition" is that just seems like a sort of unreasonable claim, though it's pretty much true).
