At the heart of a Deering banjo lies it’s 3-ply, violin grade maple rim. Made at our shop in San Diego, CA from raw maple, with the love and care needed to produce your sound, from a wood that is steeped in centuries of heritage of musical instrument craftsmanship. Each rim, is scrutinized over until it is worthy to sit at the heart of your Deering banjo. And after nearly 50 years, you can rest assured that we have got the process absolutely dialed in. | Deering Banjos

"Dear Old Dixie" is a classic bluegrass banjo standard that many of us learn at some point on our banjo journey. And while its iconic intro sounds cool, it can be tricky to get right without giving some thought to the fretting hand. This week, Kristin talks about left-hand shifting, which is a lesson that can be applied to this song, as well as countless others. P.S. If you are left-handed, this should be "Right Hand Shifting". :-) #banjo #banjoplayer #banjolessons | Deering Banjos
