    I can imagine that many non banjo people who experience Jen's incredible eclectic style for the first time must be given pause and rethink the musical capacity of the instrument. Not to mention the talent behind it.

    It’s a nice thing when a player who knows what he’s after finds a banjo company who fulfils it

    Bought my Sierra in 2015, and just gave it a service after seeing a Deering video on maintenance. I live in the Spanish Sierra Nevada, everything is metric here, so I had to modify a 6 millimetre socket to tighten the truss rod, which proved well worth doing.
    I really appreciate the quality of build, the materials and the SOUND ! Thank you Deering, good job !

    Jens, you are a MASTER Salesman! If I could afford a new banjo.....I would certainly buy one! Thanks for a lesson on Banjos! Who knows, maybe this old lady will all of a sudden get a windfall and will be able to buy one! Keep it up fellow Wilkesboro pal......we are SO proud of you and Uwe!

    I bought my Deering Sierra Maple in July 2020. I play it daily, I am getting better, and this banjo is a dream! Every day it delivers a new, pleasant surprise to me. Someday I may even get smooth at making a F chord!

    • @DeeringBanjoCo
      @DeeringBanjoCo  3 года назад +1

      You'll be playing a F chord in no time practicing daily! Keep us posted :)

      @@DeeringBanjoCo Here we are, 9 months later, and the F chord shape has become an old friend, not just for the F chord, but other chords up the neck as well. My Sierra delivers every day, and my playing has progressed a lot, thanks in part to the Deering LIve shows & the Masterclasses. They are informative, inspiring and always worth the time. Thank you Deering for this incredible, long term customer support!
      I may not play my Sierra as well as Jens, but I'll bet we are both having the same amount of fun!

      @@josephbrosk4384 Well done, sir! I've trained as a classical musician (a pianist) since the age of 5, and I can commend nothing with more sincerity than daily, careful, thoughtful practice. Even if it's only a few minutes each day, if one is patient -- if one thinks in terms of weeks, or months, rather than days, or hours -- one *will* see progress. Great work on that F-shape!

      Hey there! Maple is typically brighter, while mahogany is a little warmer sounding.

      Hugh Jantic-Pantz At least from YT videos I think so. Only other clip I’ve heard where the tone seems better is the Calico

    • @PaulMauser
      @PaulMauser 4 года назад +1

      There's too many variables in producing a video. It sounds great in person. Sounds just as good as the old glory days bluegrass banjos like the Gibsons, but in it's own color.
