The Deering Sierra 5-String banjo is Deering's most popular professional grade banjo for over 30 years.  This is the base model for which all of the Deering upperline resonator banjo models is based.  It has been so popular for so long for a reason - it is a great banjo that will not explode your wallet. 

Featuring all of the qualities you need in a professional grade banjo - the Deering -06- Bell Bronze Tone Ring and Deering 3-ply violin maple rim, the banjo sings out with rich, deep, lows and sparkling, crisp highs for a beautiful blend of tone. The mahogany neck gives the banjo a slightly warmer tone than the maple version of this same model.

Features spikes in the 5th string at the 7th, 9th, and 10th frets so you can capo and change keys easily. Comes with a Deering hardshell case and a lifetime warranty.

Great Service

I had no idea what to buy my guitar/banjo/bluegrass loving 14yo daughter and David was very helpful in picking out the perfect banjo. We knew up front that this would be a banjo that my daughter would use every day for years to come so we trusted David with the selection and purchase of this Deering Banjo and we LOVE it. It sounds so beautiful, looks beautiful, feels beautiful. My daughter is playing it every day and loving it. David also helped us with the accessories we needed to get started playing. The banjo came shipped in a nice solid case and no issues with getting it to us in our remote mountain town. Highly recommend the Banjo and Banjo Studio.

Deering Sierra banjo

I have had my Deering Sierra banjo for about a year now and I really, really like this instrument. I am an intermediate banjo player and not a professional by any means, but since having this banjo I have improved considerably and I just really look forward to my playing time. ( My wife thinks that is all I like to do if I even have a few minutes to play!! ) I have no complaints about the Deering Sierra banjo. Anyway, I am very happy with the quality and ease at playing my Deering Sierra banjo. Glenn Gailis

Deering Mahogany Sierra 5-String Banjo

Superb construction and attention to detail. Great sound, up and down the neck. Nice action and neck shape, especially for those people with smaller hands. Great price from Banjo Studio. Wish I had bought this sooner in my banjo career.

Wonderful Online Shopping Experience

I had been searching the net for a Deering Mahogany Sierra. David had one in stock. He offered me a fair price and we concluded the sale. Five days later the banjo arrived in erfect condition.
