Introducing the new Goodtime Deco Series, a stunning tribute to the vibrant American Art Deco design movement of the 1920s when the banjo reigned as America's most beloved instrument.
Learning how to play the banjo is no different. There are different types of banjos and plenty of new terminology for parts of banjos and playing styles. Aspiring players also wonder what makes one banjo better than another.
We have a bunch of new Deering merch for you whether it be socks, shirts, tote bags, mugs, and more!

Thanks for the info David !! Much appreciated…
How about a video that explains how to change the head?
Very nice video, clear and simple instructions, a blessing for beginners. However (isn’t there always a “however”?…), it would have helped to clarify that co-rods adjustment should be done – if based on string height at the 22nd or even 12th fret – once the neck relief is set right. A bowed neck, or one that is too straight, will give too high or too low an action no matter how the co-rods are set. So, at least IMO, the sequence of adjustments should be different, i.e. 1) with loose strings make sure that the rod(s) are snug on the neck side, 2) make sure the outside / tailpiece nut is tight against the rim, 3) make sure the top rod’s inside nut is just snug (not tight) against the inside of the rim (#2 and 3 make the rim rigid and ensure that string tension does not make the rim oval when brought up), 4) tighten the strings to pitch and check neck relief, 5) if neck relief is right move on to what the video says. Hope this can help and add further info to this nice video. And kudos to the Deering Banjo Co. for helping pickers all around the world.
thanks, your “how to” videos are well made, and easy to follow. as well as getting your banjo to sound it’s best.
