The Deering Sierra Maple Resonator Banjo is a premium 5-string banjo renowned for its craftsmanship and rich sound. Handcrafted in the USA. This version has a quartersawn Maple neck combined with a 3-ply violin-grade maple rim, offering exceptional clarity and projection. The Sierra is known for its traditional design, incorporating the Deering -06- 20 hole bell-bronze tone ring that contributes to its warm, deep tone and responsiveness. Whether played in bluegrass, folk, or other genres, the Deering Sierra stands out for its superb build quality and classic banjo sound. This particular example was made in 2016 and is in great shape.

Here's what Greg Deering says about the Sierra:
“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 tail piece and 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.
When I first introduced the Sierra I kept the cost down by keeping the cosmetics simple. I put the money into the pot assembly. I wanted to build a top professional banjo at a price that I could have afforded when I was a kid going to the music store on my way home from school everyday.
With the implementation of new technology we have been able to make the Sierra exquisitely beautiful without raising the price. I have been greatly inspired by the art work of the old masters of the Boston banjo era from the turn of the last century. With this inspiration in my blood I have brought art to the Sierra that is usually reserved for banjos costing much, much more.
The Deering Sierra is truly a professional masterpiece of both sound and art at a price that is within your reach.
