Greg Deering kept the cost down by keeping the money in the pot assembly, so the Sierra shares its violin-grade 3-ply maple rim, Deering -06- 20-hole bell bronze tone ring, one-piece cast zinc flange, notched brass tension hoop, Deering tailpiece, and armrest with the models above it, all the way up the range. The result is a bright, powerful, and projecting tenor banjo that is ideal for Irish and traditional players, Dixieland and jazz musicians, and anyone who wants a genuinely professional instrument without the professional price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis 19-fret tenor has been made beautiful as well as capable, with original Deering-designed engraved inlays on an A-grade ebony fingerboard, inspired by the art of the old Boston banjo masters. A quartersawn mahogany neck with a brown mahogany stain and satin finish, Deering planetary tuners, and a resonator in matching brown mahogany with a straight sidewall complete the look. It is strung with Deering tenor strings and tuned to standard tenor tuning (CGDA), and it is easily tuned to other tunings such as Irish tenor (GDAE). \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis 2010-built banjo is in great condition, with very light playwear and patina to the metal parts.
