What a difference the tailpiece can make

"I was pleased with the Presto tail piece that came with my 2003 Sierra and bought the True Tone on the recommendation of Deering staff. i could not be happier. . I am amazed with the difference that the True Tone has made. It sustains the notes and gives them a clarity that is fantastic. The tuning is greatly enhanced. Each fret registers the true note---the tuner needle hits dead center. The harmonics are true and clearly audible. Since the day I bought it I enjoyed this banjo but this True Tone tailpiece showed me its true potential. Thanks"

Deering True Tone Tailpiece

"Purchased the tailpiece to replace a non-original tailpiece on an otherwise beautiful Hartford. Far superior (the best) and of course the way it should be."

Highly recommended for older Sierra Banjos

"The Deering True Tone Tailpiece combined with the Deering Smile Bridge has taken the sound of my 22 year old 2003 Sierra Banjo to the next level. I always enjoyed the mellow sound of the Mohagany Sierra with its traditional sand cast bronze bell tone ring. The Deering True Tone Tailpiece paired with the Smile Bridge has brought out a clearer sound. The tailpiece is adjustable, so I was able to keep the mellow sounds I like in a banjo."

The new True Tone Tailpiece

"The new True Tone Tailpiece that Deering so graciously replaced for my maple blossom that broke in half at the tension hoop after years of use, workes and looks great. Wasn't to sure on how to install it correctly but Deering had an excellent video on how to set up the tailpiece that answered all my questions. What a great resource for your banjo questions. Deering customer service is also excellent. Got right back and resolved my issue."

Would this be the proper tail piece for my Maple blossom?
Yes...it's the right one.
how do you install the tru tone tail peice on to the goodtime open back 5string banjo
You will need an "L" bracket to do that. Call the factory to order one; $2.75 plus shipping for the L-bracket.
Will the true tone Tailpiece work on my Goodtime 2.
Yes, but you need to order an "L" bracket to make it fit.
