The American made Tenbrooks Saratoga Star is the cutting edge of banjo tone. The Kruger Tone Ring in this banjo is made by a 600 year old bell foundry in Switzerland and is the only tone ring of it's kind ever made. The Tenbrooks banjos are the only banjos ever made with a "classical purity of tone". This banjo will blend with classical instruments in an orchestral performance or string quartet and yet, the skilled soloist can take the lead and be heard when needed. In bluegrass performance, this banjo's tone purity and clarity, will project through the other instruments, but never sound harsh or tinny. Called by professional banjoists, "the most responsive banjo I've ever played," this banjo answers more needs for professional and amateur players than any other banjo. If you need a banjo that offers "classical purity" of tone, more expressiveness and responsiveness for the ultimate musical expression, you must have a Tenbrooks Saratoga Star banjo by Deering. There is nothing like it.
The tone chamber (Cossotto) is inseparably associated with the Morino. It is an additional resonance chamber in the keyboard which amplifies warm bass and mid range frequencies while simultaneously reducing shrill overtones. Comes with hand made reeds.
With 41 melody keys and 13 register combinations, the Morino is a top-line instrument which is not only suited for orchestra, but also for professional soloists.
Comes with hard case with trolley and ergoline straps - Made in Germany.
