Deering White Lotus 5-String Banjo - New

The Deering White Lotus Banjo blends classic bluegrass tone with modern innovation. Featuring a patented white oak rim and white oak neck and resonator, this banjo achieves a bright, powerful sound without the added weight of a metal tone ring—coming in at only 8 pounds. The result is a crisp, punchy tone with remarkable sustain and clarity. Finished with an ebony fingerboard, lotus flower inlays, and a high-gloss sheen, the White Lotus combines stunning looks with exceptional comfort and playability, making it an ideal choice for players who want rich tone and reduced weight.
