Deering Bronze Tone Ring:

The Deering -06- tone ring produces a beautiful, balanced overtone spectrum. Its weight is ideal for most styles played on the banjo. A softer touch will provide you with as much sustain as you ever want, a sharper attack will produce a distinct pop and accurate note separation. You will notice no dead spots over the entire fingerboard. The beautiful highs and powerful well rounded bass is the result of intense study of alloys and shapes. We put this high caliber tone ring in even the highest priced models because we just love it.

Three Ply Maple Rim:

The three ply maple rim is the same used in all Deering tone ring banjos. The maple rim is responsible for the color of tone to create a superior banjo sound. The one piece resonator flange is cast from a similar zinc alloy used in classic banjos. However, Deering's unique design is extra strong adding lifetime durability. The strength is vital to keeping the head evenly tight to ensure purity in tone.

The Neck:

The Sierra neck is a slender, low profile neck that is shaped for easy comfortable fingering ideal for large as well as small hands. The ebony fingerboard is polished to a smooth surface making all left handed techniques a pure pleasure. The Deering fret work is super accurate and precise to ensure correct intonation over the entire fingerboard. The two way adjustable truss rod provides accurate adjustment to maintain the best playability without buzzing. The tuning machines on all Deering banjos are Deering's new Super Smooth Planetary Tuners. When you tune your banjo, these tuners will glide easily without any bumps or hesitation, putting the pitch of your strings exactly where your want them every time.

The Lifetime Warranty:

The trust and pride we share in our product gives us the confidence to grant every owner of a Sierra banjo a Lifetime Warrenty ensuring the quality of our materials and workmanship.
