My friend bought one of the very first Terry Baucom Deerings that came out several years ago. This has proven to be a WINNER for Deering and Terry, as he still plays it onstage and on his recordings today. I just posted an ad for my friend here on BHO. This is a sweet deal on a rare banjo (see featured ad in classifieds) if anyone would like to add a walnut Terry Baucom to their banjo collection...I think it's serial # 18 and it has a great "played in" tone, even though it's in mint condition.

	myork1 says: 9/27/2013 5:07:14 AM Haha...that's cool. "New's" not always what someone's looking for. Some players look at other things. And it's not just the price...I've got an 80 year old banjo that's worth lot more than any NEW one to me, no matter the price. Same for one I bought in the 70s. It's only a good deal if someone really wants it. But thanks for the comment.
	Marin Maras says: 9/28/2013 1:14:07 AM Hello folks, just as a refference point..I bought the Terry Baucom Deering banjo back in March 2010 from Elderly. It is # 0006 ; from the first half dozen batch,obviously manufactured with a special care. The cost was 3.250 USD. That was the same price Janet Davis offered at that time. Nowadays its arr.3.600 as I could see. As Chriss (BHO Lethegoodtimesroll) said,that banjo is great ; I put on Presto TP (original from 80 ties), Purcel 0.656 red maple and keep the head precisely tuned to A. This banjo can be easily put in line in any aspect with many overestimated other brands..But as the market reflects nowadays, the second hand Deerings have 20 to 30 percent drop in price the moment they are purchased as new ones,sorrowfully.
	myork1 says: 9/28/2013 6:43:49 PM True, many banjos drop in price as "used" but I still think players pay for how a banjo plays as well. I've seen new banjos in stores that weren't set up very well and as a result didn't play well...at any price. However, I did talk with my friend and told him that if he really wants to sell this banjo, it's "competing" with new ones at that price. So he's decided to drop it to $2950. Just trying to do him a favor here on BHO and hopefully help someone get a great banjo at a good price.
