Banjo-Tonering

Jens Krüger guided it along in working with the Swiss Rüetschi Bell Foundry, having 600+ years of experience in metallurgy, and drawing on that knowledge while also incorporating innovative techniques they developed a tonering with the evenly cyrstalized molecular structure which is necessary to create this very exceptional tone. This type of molecular structure is usually only able to be accomplished in huge bell castings. But the breakthrough came when they discovered how to accomplish this in a smaller casting for Deering's Tenbrooks banjos with the Jens Krüger tonering.
 

Bells cast in the 15th Century by the Rüetschi Bell Foundry are still in use today. The foundry’s skill and knowledge enables them to repair ancient bells with precision and mastery, without loss of their original tonal integrity. Only a supreme mastery of bronze casting can produce such success. Only this kind of mastery bronze casting can produce the extraordinary Tenbrooks tonering. The unprecedented extreme precision of both the casting and machining process demands an unplated finish to prevent stifling the far-reaching tonal spectrum that is completely unique to the Tenbrooks banjo. The Tenbrooks tonering is finished to a shimmering, lustrous high polish and then treated with linseed oil. Like most thoroughbreds, this does require special care.
