Erik Kamerling, an American now resident in Kilcullen, Co. Kildare, is moving back to the States in a month or so and wishes to sell his Deering Standard banjo, serial # 3789, which corresponds to the present Sierra. The pot and tone ring are the same as on the top Deering models. Erik says:

I bought it new in Ithaca NY and have had it for 18 years. I played it heavily up until a few years ago. It's quite a nice 5-string, albeit one of Deering's more aesthetically basic instruments... Very nice tone ring, vibrant and crisp instrument, etc. It would be great for someone looking to get more seriously into bluegrass after a few years working with some cheaper models. It lasted me 18 years without ever a need to buy a different instrument.
