I first heard a Deering in Florida when I was on holiday in the 1980's from the UK. That was the sound I was looking for! I ended up with a GDL model in 1994 and have since also aquired the Tenbrooks Saratoga Star with Jens Kruger tone ring. Probably the best sounding banjo there is. I get a buzz from this machine every time I play it. The GDL is still a great banjo to play ,just a differnet tone and has a faster neck than the Tenbrooks.

I understand the sound thing, i first heard a Deering last April, a Maple Blossom, i remember thinking i got to have one! It was so pretty sounding. Then out of the blue in June my banjo teacher said he had a Deering he would sell if i was interested. He brought it in and low and behold it was a Maple Blossom, he gave me a huge student discount and i bought it Oct. 1st, i cant put it down. Does the Tenbrook have a full size resinator or the thinner one?
