	DEERING'S "SIERRA" MODEL 5-String Banjo
	DEERING'S "SIERRA" MODEL 5-String Banjo

			The new Sierra banjo ushers in a great opportunity to have a banjo with the ultimate brightness of maple or the sweetness of mahogany. Both banjos are constructed with the new Deering ’06 tone ring noted for a full, round, rich, dimensional bell bronze tone with great note distinction and sustain. With the maple Sierra you will find a dynamic brightness, sparkle, clarity of tone, increased sustain, and power that is the gold standard in the world of bluegrass. The mahogany version you will achieve equal clarity, good projection, and a sweetness and warmth of tone that is good for many styles of play. The 3-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. This strength is vital to keeping the head evenly tight to ensure purity in tone. Hard shell case included. Retail Price: $2,695.00 Our Price: $1,895.00 + Shipping More Info

Built by the same expert builders who make the most sought after banjos in the world, this piece features is the new and updated for 2009 Goodtime with Greg Deering's new beautiful wood inlays on a rock maple neck that is both slender and easy to finger. The Goodtime banjo has a blonde rock maple neck, all geared tuners, a 3-ply rock maple rim, an adjustable tailpiece, single coordinator rod and a top frosted head. It uses an 11" high crown head like all Deering banjos and is made in the U.S.A. The simple design makes tune-ups and adjustments very user friendly. The neck is a slender, low profile and fits most hands beautifully. It's tone is bright and crisp and has a growing reputation of sounding far better than banjos costing up to five times the price. 6 year limited warranty.

	NECHVILLE "CLASSIC" HELI-MOUNT 5-String Banjo
	NECHVILLE "CLASSIC" HELI-MOUNT 5-String Banjo

			Classic Heli-Mount Banjo - For the player who cherishes the traditional look and feel of the banjo, the Classic offers all the benefits of the Heli-Mount technology with a familiar but distinctive style. You can be confident that Nechville has paid attention to even the smallest details. Every part of the Nechville has been designed for acoustical superiority, convenience, comfort and versatility. For example, you'll benefit from the adjustable radiused neck attachment. It is as solid as a rock and keeps the banjo in tune, yet when you want to change action height or remove the neck for travel, it happens in a snap. Nechville's Enterprise bridge is compensated with an efficient geometry that is more sophisticated than any other's. Nechville tailpieces save you time in string changes while mounting strings in a straight line which is proven to be more sound efficient. Nechville's exotic wood Comfort armrest is a favorite feature of Classic owner Bela Fleck. It simply makes playing more enjoyable. Hard Shell Case and Pro Tone Ring included. Retail Price: $2,750.00 Our Price: $1,995.00 + Shipping More Info
