Customer Service



Steve Noon at Eagle clearly believes in the product when I was choosing my first banjo , with me unwilling to buy Chinese,he directed me to the Deerings, I was glad I listened the GDL is my third.
Deering still behave like a family company, with the name on the headstock at the helm.
Lifetime warranty instills confidence.

Overall Comments


For me a banjo is quintessentialy a product of American heritage, anything not made in America, however technically good is always a substitute for the genuine article. The Deerings opitimise the brand values of Proudly Made in the USA
