Strum along with a Deering Banjo

A Deering banjo is certainly a sight to behold. It doesn't matter whether you are new to chicken picking or whether you can pluck faster than the speed of light and are in need of a banjo that can keep up, because Deering banjos are available in different styles and some of them are very similar to a guitar in terms of the string setup and tone.

Deering 5-String Banjo

A Deering 5-string banjo is available in nearly 70 different styles, many of which can be found right here on eBay. Deering 5-string banjo models are available with different tone rings, pickups, scale lengths and more. The Deering banjos that you choose will largely depend on the type of music that you want to play. Standard Deering banjos have a scale of 26 ¼ inches and they can be used for everything from bluegrass to country and even rock/classical as well. A Deering banjo can be either openback or closed back, however if you don't want to opt for a Deering instrument then there are plenty of Goodtime banjo instrument options to choose from. A closed back will give you a fuller sound, whereas an open back banjo will not be as tonally perfect.

Deering 6-String Banjo

The 6-string banjo is also available as an openback and more and more people are now opting for the 6-string style. This is because it is much more suited to those who play the guitar and they are commonly used by artists such as Keith Urban, Taylor Swift and even Joe Satriani. 6-string banjos are often tuned slightly differently to 5-string banjos and they are most suited to country, rock and bluegrass.

Both 5 string and 6 string banjos are made out of a variety of woods, ranging from Koa to mahogany, spruce and even laminated tops.
