Deering Sierra 5 String Maple Resonator Banjo w/Spikes Installed #BC19

The Deering Sierra has earned its reputation as one of the most reliable and best-sounding bluegrass banjos you can buy, and this maple resonator version shows exactly why. It has the feel and response players expect from a professional instrument, thanks to a comfortable slender D-shaped neck, smooth ebony fingerboard, and precise Deering planetary tuners. With railroad spikes already installed at the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th frets, it is fully stage ready from the moment it lands in your hands. The pot assembly delivers that classic Sierra power, built around an 11-inch three-ply violin-grade maple rim and Deering’s famous -06- twenty-hole bell bronze tone ring. This combination produces a strong, focused voice with plenty of clarity and low-end punch. The notched brass tension hoop, True Tone tailpiece, and Deering Smile bridge round out the setup, giving it dependable tuning stability and a lively response that works for traditional and modern styles alike. A matching satin-finished maple resonator completes the package with projection that fills the room without ever losing nuance. At roughly eleven pounds and built with the sturdy craftsmanship Deering is known for, this Sierra is a roadworthy partner for jams, sessions, and stage work. It is a professional banjo that delivers consistency, tone, and playability every single time.
