I played the Tenbrooks just after the first prototype was completed. (I'm a Deering employee) It was introduced at NAMM a few months ago. It's beyond belief. It is one of the few banjos I have ever had my hands on that delivers this level of sound and feel. It's absolutley beyond belief!
Sound Rating: 10
Set up was standard. I always resetup my banjos anyhow. I can't wait to set mine up once it has been created. If the prototype sounded this good I can't wait to set mine up to my specs.
Setup Rating: 10
Gorgeous. And finally Deering has thrown some fancy inlays onto their banjos (Golden Era the exception). This banjo looks as great as it sounds.

Find a store that has them and play one. Then save your checkles. Trust me on this. If you can't afford one do not pick one up as you will sell something of value to purchase one.
