Hi, I just wanted to drop you folks a note. The Deering Maple Blossom banjo I ordered from you got here yesterday. WHAT A BEAUTY!!!!!!! You know, the Deering hard case itself is way cooler than any "banjo" I've ever had. What a beautiful instrument and what a great sound. I couldn't be happier. Thank you all so much, Jerry Martin, WA

To all the folks at Deering Banjo;

Hyperbole and superlatives are not adequate to describe the joy I've had the
last few days playing the Deering Maple Blossom I recently purchased. I
mentioned on the warranty card that I
call it a Little Bit of Heaven with five strings.
The tone is superb and the notes just seem to ripple out of that tone ring
like drops of golden rain dancing in the sun.

I can't thank Carolina and your crew for your thoughtfulness, as well as an
uncanny awareness of a banjo player's needs. Within a week of contacting
Folk of the Wood, I had my banjo ready to play.

In this age of so much
artificiality in the business world, it's overwhelming to deal with people
who treat a customer with such sincerity and understanding and help easily
confused people like me get in touch with honesty and thoughtfulness.


Thanks so much for re-affirming the fact folk music is alive and well and
keeping us sane.
Pete Seeger has an inscription on his banjo which reads, "This machine
surrounds hate and forces it to surrender". I don't know if I can reach
that goal with my Maple Blossom, but I can sure send the blues up Cripple
Creek without a paddle, and help my fellow human beings prevent Foggy
Nervous Breakdowns.

Sincerely yours,
One elated customer who is only picky about his banjos.

"I recently received my Deering Maple Blossom. I am delighted! I'm impressed by not only that Deering tone, sound clarity, and ease of playing, but also by the felling I get in my bones from its resonance. You make great banjos! Thanks." D. Costanzo CT
