We combinded our love for the banjo and decades of experience to bring about the first model of our original new series we call the Eagle Banjos. Te Eagle II banjo has exciting new engraved inlays designed by Greg Deering, a new decorative flange and a patent pending tone ring. Te “Twenty-Ten”© Tone Ring was 3 years in development by Greg Deering, Jens Kruger and Philip Zanon. We have blazed new and exciting territory in tone ring technology to create a rich, powerful and traditional sound in the Eagle II banjo.
Greg Deering personally developed new manufacturing techniques that allow us to bring the Eagle II banjo to you with a top professional quality that you don’t normally find in banjos in this price range. Tis is in keeping with his motivation for starting the Deering Banjo Company in the first place, and that was to make superior quality banjos accessible to the average person as well as top professionals.
Te Eagle “Twenty-Ten”© Tone Ring provides a new voice with a very prominent mid range tone that is great when you play alone or in a band. Because the power of the strings is more focused toward the primary note, this banjo is louder than many other banjos. Tis channeled tone allows the Eagle II to be easy to EQ over a sound system, pleasing not only the soundman but the audience as well.
Some people have asked us if the sound of the new Eagle tone ring is beter than the other banjos. It’s like asking if Allison Krauss has a beter voice than Frank Sinatra, or if a Stratocaster guitar is beter than a Telecaster. One isn’t beter than another, they are different. Each is unique and has its own flavor. Every Deering banjo is a prized voice. You can select what is best for your needs. We know the Eagle will be a proud addition to any banjoists arsenal.
“Tis fine banjo holds its own when played in a hard driving bluegrass session, on stage or played gently in the comfort of your own home …the quality and clarity of tone is quite exceptional.’’ Steve Noon, Owner, Eagle Music U.K.
“Kudos to all the folks at Deering! Te Eagle II is everything we could hope for in this price range - great fit and finish, atractive styling and terrific vintage sound.” Stan Werbin, Owner, Elderly Instruments U.S.A
