Deering Sierra in Maple and Mahogany - Ross Nickerson Videos

BanjoTeacher.com owner Ross Nickerson playing on a brand new Deering Sierra Maple Banjo, Lonesome Reuben in D tuning and Turkey in the Straw in G tuning. Lonesome Reuben comes from the playing of Earl Scruggs and is sometimes just called Reuben or "Reuben's Train". Ross's version is based on the Earl Scruggs version and is played in the Scruggs Style with some twists of his own. Ross's version of Turkey in the Straw mixes Melodic Style Banjo and Scruggs Style Banjo Techniques.

This Deering Sierra is brand new and a good example of what they sound like right out of the box. Deerings are made with a sophisticated CNC machine and are all very consistent. Ross's business banjoteacher.com is an authorized dealer for all Deering Banjos. The Deering Sierra available in Maple or Mahogany. Call Ross and he will answer the phone! 1-866-322-6567.

I appreciate that attention to detail.
Hi Ross, My Sierra arrived a couple days ago. It's in perfect condition and was packaged with care. I appreciate that attention to detail. It's an awesome banjo made extremely well and I couldn't be happier. It sounds terrific, better than I expected. The woodgrain on the resonator is beautiful and the neck is smooth and a pleasure to play. It was well worth the wait. Thank you for being adamant about getting the maple instead of the mahogany. I am thrilled. Thank you, Brad Tanhoff

Deering Sierra and banjo teacher CD's
Hello Ross, I received my Deering Maple Sierra banjo only a few days after ordering from you. Thank you for getting my new banjo to me so fast. This banjo looks and sounds great, and I am sure it will be played daily. The teaching CD's you sent will be very useful for me working on advancing my skills. I have started working with "Playing banjo by ear & learning the cords".

Beautiful Clear Sound
Hi Ross: Just wanted to let you know that the banjo arrived yesterday in 100% good shape. It has a beautiful clear sound... Iโ€™m sure itโ€™s the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Now I just need to bring up my playing to the level it deserves. Thanks for all you did and the extra stuff, Iโ€™m just now listening to the jamming DVD.
Administrator:
That's a beautiful thing, to bring you closer to music and be part of something that makes your life more interesting and fun.Thanks for letting me know, it arrived safe. Don't forget to tighten the head a few times at least in the first few months, just keep it where it is now, push on it to get a feel for it. It doesn't take much to do that but if you don't do it, it will start sound lifeless and you will wonder why. Ross
