The Phoenix 6 String banjo has a beautiful organic tone that results in warm and well-rounded full notes. When amplified, these characteristics are enhanced by a combination of brilliant highs via the piezo pickup and warm mid range from the Kavanjo®.

As well as a master volume control, players can dial in the tone even more with the addition of a blend control, the centre position of which is marked with a centre notch. This allows for a seemingly endless combination of Kavanjo® and piezo mix, bringing out the best from both pick ups and truly enhancing the natural sound of the banjo itself.

Quality Workmanship

This Deering Phoenix Acoustic/Electric 6-String Banjo is a work of art. Incredible sound. An heirloom instrument. Fantastic customer service and communication.

Deering Phoenix

The instrument plays like a dream and is incredible sounding when amplified (10/10) - the dual pickups are great! My personal opinion of the Phoenix's acoustic sound is a little disappointing (6.5/10) - my point of reference is my OME Eclipse banjo which is a solid 10/10. The volume and pickup knobs were not attached when I received the instrument and when I try to attach them - the tightening screws don't provide enough resistance to keep them from popping off so at this point I'll just keep them off (doesn't look at nice as I was hoping for) Dave was a pleasure to work with from a product purchase delivery perspective. Very smooth transaction - I wouldn't hesitate to buy from here again. My slight disappointments are with the product.
