This Deering 5 string Banjo is in excellent condition with a bright, present tone, low action, and accompanied by it's original case! Below you can find specifications and additional information from Greg Deering himself. Feel free to message us or call the shop with any additional questions!

“The Deering Sierra banjo is truly the flagship of our entire line! How is it that this is so? Well, I’ll tell you. The pot assembly of the Sierra, the violin grade maple 3-ply rim, the -06- tone ring, the one-piece zinc flange, the notched tension hoop, the Deering tailpiece and the armrest are exactly the same as our whole line all the way up to the Gabriella, with just a few exceptions. The only exceptions are; the Golden Era has a different zinc flange, the Hartford has a Grenadillo wood tone ring, the Terry Baucom has an -06- tone ring that is just a few ounces lighter than the standard -06- tone ring, and the Tenbrooks banjos have the Swiss Jens Kruger tone ring ...

The Sierra is truly a professional masterpiece of both sound and art at a price that is within your reach."
