Deering

After more than twenty years in the banjo business, and having produced more than eight thousand banjos, Janet and Greg Deering are still personally involved in making these very fine high quality instruments. Arguably the best of the modern handmade banjos, each instrument is backed up with a lifetime warrantee and Banjo Maintenance Manual. All Deering banjos (with the exception of the "Boston") have 3 ply maple rims, two way adjustable necks, sand cast virgin bell bronze tone rings and one piece cast zinc flanges.

Morgan Monroe

Legend has it...generations ago in the hills of southern Indiana lived a man named Morgan Monroe who was a musical craftsman that shaped the local hardwoods into the finest stringed instruments around, and in the process he turned the local timber supply into national folklore. Today when you pick up a Morgan Monroe instrument you can tell from the first note that the high standards he set long ago will never go out of style and the more things change...the more they stay the same.
