Greg Deering Maintenance Workshop DVD

All banjoists should have this video. Greg completely disassembles a banjo and reassembles it on stage while explaining what he is doing and discussing his past connections with banjos. It’s terrific!!!

Lots of information to get the most out of your vanjo6. I recommend it for beginner to mid level players.

Thank you, Mr Deering for building a great line of affordable banjos. I own two: Goodtime Americana and Tenor banjos. I play them every day. Your video helped me put a flange and resonator on the Tenor. ☺️

I have been using Deering's metal and wood care clothes for decades. Time to replace them, so I bought a set recently. They still serve me well and keep my banjos clean and shiny. They are a very good product.

It wasn't what I thought it would be, but worth it to me to hear Greg Deering's story. Also, just watching the top man set up a banjo and talk about his experiences with what works and what doesn't.

Was looking for a good instructional video on disassemble and assembly of my sierra banjo. Your youtube video with a service tech is much more what I was after. I will trade you the DVD for a Deering string winder.

Very interesting. I would describe this video as a low key, informal presentation by Greg Deering about his career and the banjos he makes. It is intriguing listening to him review his career while taking a very good, high quality banjo apart! It is not a formal workshop so to speak. But none the less, this video demonstrates the Deering philosoph...Read MoreRead more about Very interesting. I would describe

Essential Supplies Made Easy

Although I found it enjoyable and informative, I was expecting much more specific information.

Pretty good. I liked the story at the opening.

i really enjoyed it, and i now feel more confident to recheck the setup on my recently purchased used Deering Boston. thank you.

This is not what I expected. I expected more close up shots especially when he was changing the strings. I would like to have seen how and in what direction he wound the strings. How he locked them. Also I wanted a closer look on how he did the intonation of the strings. A shot from above would be a big help. I would consider this DVD to be more a...Read MoreRead more about This is not what I expected. I

Very informative and entertaining.

As I was doing my research on the internet, prior to buying my first banjo, I realized there is a level of maintenance required to keep a banjo sounding good, much more than a guitar. Being good with tools and my hands, I have done the setup 3 of my guitars, but once setup there is very little to maintain a guitar beyond cleaning and string change...Read MoreRead more about As I was doing my research on the

I was feeling a bit unsure about maintaining a banjo, I didn't want to be constantly running to a luthier to work on my banjo as this would be time consuming and could get expensive, not to mention not always feasible. As I started finding videos showing some of the maintenance procedures I thought this can't be all that difficult. When I found this DVD I thought I would give it a try. I'm glad I did. As I watched Greg basically disassemble and then reassemble a banjo whilst talking to a group of people, I felt much more confident in my ability to maintain my banjo. Between this DVD and the maintenance manual for my new Goodtime Classic banjo, this should be no problem. After a few calls to Deering over a period of 2 to 3 weeks as I was making my decision for my first banjo purchase, I have to say they were very helpful & a real nice bunch of folks. Thanks again Deering, I'm having a lot of fun and isn't fun just the best thing to have!

Learning about the history of the Deering Banjo company and Taylor Guitars was a nice bonus. Read LessRead less about As I was doing my research on the

I really like it a lot.

not sure that the armrest is meant for a Basic banjo.First time installing a head and had no problems.

Not worth the money!

The world still needs a DVD on Deering banjo maintenance. Simply putting a camera in front of Greg while he is giving a seminar to a large group falls short of video's capability.

Great DVD, it offered a wealth of first hand, direct and easy to comprehend information. I'm a beginner and had many questions on how to setup and maintain my banjo. This DVD took me from clueless to having a handle on what needs to done.

I love the DVD! I love my Deering Calioco but have always felt intimidated by maintenance. After watching Greg take the banjo apart I now feel much more comfortable doing my own adjustments. Thanks!
