new Deering John Hartford banjo arrives!




It arrived at dinner time last evening! Knew it would be pretty--but we were unprepared for its sound. Awesome! Bob and I have heard this model before--and Bob couldn't understand why I bought this one. (I sold my Ramsey Woody to pay for it). He is in shock. This banjo sounds wonderful and better than any John Hartford banjo we have ever heard before! Thank you Deering banjos! Our digital camera is broken--so these pix were taken on a cell phone and a little blurry. :(
