The Eagle II banjo represents the latest in tone ring innovation from the collaborative efforts of Greg Deering and Jens Kruger. It features the ground breaking patented Twenty Ten Tone Ring - a Deering original crafted unlike any other traditional tone ring. Made of brass and producing a tone with a very rich mid-range and good bass and treble response, the most unique feature of the Eagle II banjo is that it is suitable to both clawhammer and bluegrass, among other styles.


The Deering Eagle II 5-String Banjo has been praised by customers for its unparalleled versatility. From 3-finger bluegrass picking, to clawhammer, to folk rock, and more, the Eagle II shines with its clarity and balance of both brightness and warmth.
