| Description | This Special is the original of the Clareen Banjo range and the most popular. The Clareen Special is an excellent Tenor banjo with a crisp, clear tone. The two-piece neck of well-selected maple has a contrasting mahogany centre strip for stability and appearance. All the wood is finished in its natural colour as is the resonator and maple rim. The maple neck is separated at the back by a strip of mahogany offering a unique appearance and extra stability. The neck is also re-enforced with two carbon fibre truss rods embedded inside. The neck is then protected with several layers of lacquer. The Rosewood Peghead is inlaid with the Model name and a Shamrock or Harp. The Rosewood fingerboard is inlaid at the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 10th, 15th& 17th frets with a Mother of Pearl dot marker and tasteful Harps or Shamrocks at the 5th and 12th frets to echo the peghead. The precision crafted Geared Tuners are sourced from Schaller in Germany and are made of brass and then nickel plated topped with White, Perloid buttons. Well selected Maple is used for the resonator of the Special. Its natural hue is allowed to shine through but it is protected with several layers of lacquer. There is a dark Tortoise binding around the edge of the resonator Clareen Banjos manufactures all of its tone rings by hand in our workshop in Galway, Ireland.
