The Sierra offers a great value in a professional-quality banjo. A superior 19-fret tenor banjo at an affordable price! Made in USA.
Bell Bronze Tone Ring: The sand-cast virgin bell-bronze tone ring used in this banjo is the same world-class tone ring that is used in the $25,000 Deering Gabriella banjo. Sand casting is an expensive, old fashioned manufacturing process, and the undisputed best method for making bells and tone rings. The Deering tone ring is precision machined to two thousandths of an inch tolerance. The Sierra's tone is competitive (and superior in many cases) with banjos priced much higher. The Sierra tone is rich, powerful, full bodied, crisp and bell-like.
Three Ply Maple Rim: The three-ply rock maple rim is the same used in all Deering tone ring banjos. It's the standard by which every banjo is judged because it produces the best sound.
The one-piece resonator flange is cast from a similar zinc alloy used in the classic banjos in the past but is much thicker and stronger for the ultimate banjo tone and mechanical strength. The zinc flange allows the warm, rich harmonics to come through.
The Neck: The Sierra neck is slender and low-profile, shaped for fast and accurate fingering. The ebony fingerboard is polished to a fast, smooth surface making all left hand techniques faster and easier. The shape is comfortable and natural for large and small hands. Deering fret work is accurate and precise to ensure correct intonation over the entire fingerboard. The two-way adjustable truss rod provides precision adjustment to maintain the best playability without buzzing.
The tuning machines on the peghead are the traditional banjo planetary (named for the arrangement of the gears inside) machines with a geared fifth string peg. All the tuners are the very best quality used on our most expensive custom banjos.
The Lifetime Warranty: Deering offers a lifetime warranty on the Sierra Banjo.
List price right-handed model: $2779.00 lefty $3057.00.
Note: Our banjos are individually inspected, set up and tuned by the banjo.com staff in Georgia. We are banjo players, so we set them up the way we want to play them! Each banjo is in tune when we carefully pack it for shipment. Climate conditions and travel will affect the tuning, so it may need to be fine-tuned before playing. |
