A banjo built to give players more range, more warmth, and more musical freedom, the Deering Woodsongs Campfire Long Neck 5-String Banjo is a unique instrument designed for storytelling and song. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this model was developed in collaboration with Michael Jonathan of the Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour, capturing the spirit of traditional folk performance while remaining accessible to a wide range of players. Its extended long neck design opens up new tonal territory, allowing you to play comfortably in lower keys like E or capo up to standard G tuning.

What makes this banjo truly special is its stripped-down, tone-focused construction. With a violin-grade maple rim and no tone ring, it produces a warm, round, and woody voice that sits beautifully under vocals. The mahogany neck further enhances that warmth, giving each note a smooth, organic character that’s perfect for folk, Americana, and singer-songwriter styles. Lightweight and resonant, it’s an ideal companion for campfire sessions, stage performances, or intimate recording environments.

Designed with playability and reliability in mind, the Woodsongs Campfire Long Neck features quality Deering hardware, smooth satin finishes, and thoughtful appointments throughout. Whether you're an emerging player exploring new tunings or a seasoned musician looking for a distinctive tonal palette, this banjo offers a refreshing take on a classic instrument.
