Vega Little Wonder 17 Fret Tenor Banjo by Deering Company USA.
I recently acquired this little tenor banjo from one careful owner from new. It was imported from the USA about 10 years ago and this model currently sells for around $1500 this is a link to the info I’m providing here. Only 7 lbs in weight, the Little Wonder banjo is a traditional style instrument, with a sweetness and purity of tone that gives both the professional and beginning banjoist a fabulous sounding banjo that is light, fast and easy to play. The stained violin grade maple neck and 3-ply maple rim are the same as the popular Vega Little Wonder, the resonator is combined with a traditional 24-piece butterfly flange to facilitate the strong projection demanded by bluegrass, country and folk musicians. Any style of music can be played on it whether you are strumming, or fingerpicking. If you want strong tone with lighter weight, this banjo is ideal for you.
It has a beautiful understated appearance, top quality components and workmanship. It is beautiful to look at and beautiful to play.
