The Deering Sierra has been the gold standard in professional-grade banjos for nearly three decades, offering premium tone and playability at an accessible price point. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this flagship model features the same pot assembly and tone-enhancing components found on Deering’s highest-end banjos, including a 3-ply violin-grade maple rim and a one-piece cast zinc flange. The satin-finished quartersawn mahogany neck and resonator give it a warm, classic aesthetic, while the A-grade ebony fingerboard with engraved inlays adds a touch of artistry. Equipped with Deering’s True Tone tailpiece, Smile bridge, and planetary tuners, the Sierra delivers rich, projecting tone for bluegrass, folk, and traditional banjo styles. Professionally built for the stage or studio, it comes with a hardshell case for safe transport.
