Ordered from this store to the US, shipping took about a week. The service done by the luthiers at 12fret, adjusting height of each string and adding capo spikes is very helpful and well done. When I got it, it was well packed in great condition and the bridge was even still perfectly placed. I read a lot of reviews recommending the Deering Goodtime 2 and how great it sounds for the price and this deal right here was the cheapest I could find a new one and it came with all of these great bonuses. The tuner fits really nicely on the neck and seem even more accurate than my Snark clip on chromatic. The bag is really sturdy, well padded, and has nice backpack straps as well as the the carrying handle. This is my first banjo so I don't have much to compare it to, but everyone I've showed thinks it's a a beautiful instrument with a beautiful sound. The action on the strings is set so comfortably that, having never seriously played a steel string instrument, I was able to practice for hours the first day I got it without my tender, uncalloused hands causing any real discomfort. Oh and the steve martin cd and book are really funny and are a good for a beginner or intermediate banjo player who like pretty music Read full review

Since I received it I found it hard putting it down. Once tuned it sounds great and seems to stay in tune for awhile. I bought it used and I haven't changed the strings yet but it sounds great for now and just wonder how better it will sound with new strings. If your a beginner like me I suggest spending a little more and buying the Deering II it's a better investment. I had bought a cheaper Banjo and then bought this one. It is a pleasure to play. And Made in America instead of an Import.

Deering Banjos are fun and sturdy. I recommend them for anyone looking for a great banjo made in the USA. They are a bit pricey compared to other brands, but I don’t mind paying the premium for quality craftsmanship.

I got my Banjo fairly quickly. It plays very well. The string set up is off a little and I will have to go to a Luthier to get it re aligned, but no big deal. Great price. Would recommend.
