When comfort meets tonal brilliance, inspiration follows — and the Deering White Lotus 5-String Banjo is built to deliver just that. Designed for players who crave rich, articulate tone without the weight of a traditional tone ring, the White Lotus introduces Deering’s patented white oak rim construction, producing bright, punchy bluegrass tone with exceptional clarity and note separation. Crafted from quartersawn white oak, the neck and rim offer both strength and resonance, mimicking the tonal response of a tone ring-equipped banjo, while keeping the instrument remarkably light. Elegant lotus flower inlays on an ebony fingerboard, a sleek gloss finish, and Deering’s Eagle Series flange complete this thoughtfully designed resonator banjo. Whether you’re a touring pro or a home picker, this American-made banjo strikes the perfect balance of power, comfort, and style. Includes a Deering hardshell case, available now at Haggerty’s Music.
