Deering Greg Deering Limited G.D.L. Custom: With Custom Chrome Plating • Exquisite craftsmanship and functional elegance are combined to create the G.D.L. banjo. As on the Ivanhoe, patience and care go into cutting the many strips of multicolored abalone shell which are inlaid beside the ivoroid binding, trimming the figured walnut neck and burl walnut resonator. Intricate abalone and mother-of-pearl inlays adorn the ebony fingerboard and peghead. As on the Ivanhoe, the peghead is bound with white/black/white stripes on the face and side, we call this triple bound. (Retails )

Deering John Hartford with Custom Pop-Off Resonator: The Hartford is made of flamed maple and stained to a warm brown. It has the look of a vintage instrument, not glossy, but hand rubbed to create a smooth, fast feel. The "steamboat gothic" inlay pattern reflects John's enthusiasm for steamboats. Greg's years of experience with various woods combined with John's research into the design of vintage banjos culminated in the idea of using a "Granadillo tone-ring" made from a wood used on marimbas. This unique tone-ring is mounted on a three-ply maple rim with a zinc flange to create a wood-rim, lighter weight (8 lbs instead of 11 or 12) banjo a very good choice for bluegrass as well as other styles! With the custom option of a pop-on resonator, and assembling the banjo with a light weight tube for open-back playing, you will have a banjo which is easily convertible from open-back to bluegrass style, weighing 6 lbs with the resonator and only 5 lbs without -- the same as a guitar! More expensive to produce than a bell bronze tone-ring, the Hartford tone-ring comes standard on the John Hartford model and can be ordered as a custom option on other models from the Sierra on up the line.

Gold Tone OB-250+: Specifications Tone Ring: JLS Tone Ring • Rim: 3 Ply Maple: Used on most professional banjos, has less glue for better tone than a multi- ply rim • Coordinator Rod Adjuster: A simple barrel style nut is attached to the outer coordinator rod which can be easily adjusted for slight string action adjustments • Brian Cooper Intonated Custom Bridge: The maple on this bridge is quality select and has aged for at least 100 years… Brian, from Tennesee, sets up many professional Nashville banjos. • Neck to Body Mount: The neck is raised slightly higher on the banjo body. This provides a wider space between head and strings when picking close to fingerboard for comfort and eliminates the picks from striking the head. • Deluxe Case: Includes TKL Deluxe arched top case with plush velour padding, lock, padded handle and perfect fit • Nut adjustment: Grooves are cut 1 to 2 thickness of string which prevents string binding and will provide better use of Keith style tuners. • Tuners: 5 Star Planetary • Neck: Maple • Tension Hoop: Nickel-plated brass, for more sustain • Tailpiece: Straight Line Tailpiece • Truss Rod: Square two way adjustable • Fingerboard: Ebony with MOP hearts and flower inlay • Resonator: Maple (includes flame maple veneer in two tone sunburst) • One Piece Die Cast Flange • Curly maple headstock veneer with MOP inlay (Retails: Current Sale Price ) Optional Hardshell Cases Available

Stelling Banjos


The Tom Hanway Swallow Tail: At the request of virtuoso banjo player and noted Irish stylist, Tom Hanway (see his Mel Bay Book/CD here, or his website), Geoff Stelling, with much inspirational help from Tom, designed the Swallow Tail, a truly Celtic banjo from stem to stern. The swallow, oak leaf, acorn, and closed knot inlays relate to the sacred Druid and Celtic traditions of the past. The neck and resonator are made of curly maple and stained with a sunburst Cremona-style finish similar to the Virginian. The Deluxe version of this model features bead-blasted and subtly engraved metal parts and chrome plating. Both the Standard and the Deluxe models feature an inlaid abalone and mother-of-pearl swallow in the center of the resonator that matches the peghead swallow inlay.
The Swallow Tail Standard • Wood: Curly Maple (shaded) • Plating: Nickel • Includes Stelling Hardshell Case (Retails:
on this superb Swallow Tail: )

Stelling Bellflower with Tony Pass Old Wood Rim: Made of Virginia Black Walnut, the Bellflower boasts the natural beauty of unstained wood. A simple, yet elegant floral inlay pattern, combined with tasteful ivoroid/black/ivoroid binding on the neck and resonator make the Bellflower the choice of many.
Wood: Virginia Black Walnut (Unstained Wood) • Plating: Nickel • Includes Stelling Hardshell Case (Retails: Includes the Tony Pass Old Wood Rim at $475.00 Add-On/

Stelling Staghorn with Tony Pass Old Wood Rim: (1 Currently in Stock as of 08/24/04) The Staghorn...In 1975, Alan Munde introduced the Stelling banjo to an international audience by playing the second Staghorn ever made with the Country Gazette. Since then, the Staghorn has remained one of the most desired banjos in the world and has become the trademark model of Stelling Banjo Works. The increasing rarity of the materials such as the highly figured Claro walnut used in the neck and resonator, and the colorful abalone shell out of which the inlays and trim are cut make this model one of the ultimate sound investments. Wood: Figured Claro Walnut...Plating: Nickel (Retails: Includes the Tony Pass Old Wood Rim at Add-On/ on this superb Staghorn: )

Stelling Sunflower with Tony Pass Old Wood Rim: By slightly modifying and adding to the Bellflower inlay pattern, and making the neck and resonator out of curly maple instead of walnut, Stelling created the Sunflower. The shaded, Cremona style "sunburst" staining on this model is very popular and highlights the quality of the wood used.

Stelling Red Fox: One of our newest models, inspired by master banjoist Bill Emerson, the Red Fox outsold every other model in 1996. Although new models tend to do that, we think that this model will join the Staghorn with its universal appeal and acceptance as a classic banjo design. The fancy curly maple used in this model is enhanced by the reddish stain. The Red Fox in the peghead and the abalone maple leaves in the fingerboard help to make this a very striking model. Wood: Curly Maple (red-stained) • Plating: Nickel • Includes Stelling Hardshell Case (Retails: on this spectacular banjo: )

Stelling Virginian: The state of Virginia has long been associated with the banjo and its music. With so many notable banjo players claiming Virginia as their home or birthplace, and the fact that it is the home of Stelling Banjo Works, it seems appropriate to have a banjo called the Virginian. This model features the Virginia state bird, the cardinal, on the peghead, and the Virginia state flower, the dogwood blossom, on the fingerboard. The abalone shell used for the cardinals is selected for the most striking colors to reflect the natural beauty of these lovely birds. Other features include abalone trim and fancy curly maple on the neck and resonator. • Wood: Curly Maple (shaded) • Plating: Nickel • Includes Stelling Hardshell Case (Retails: on the Virginian: )

The Following Stellings are Discontinued and are left up for reference only:

Stelling Red Fox Bill Emerson Deluxe model: Few banjo players have enjoyed the successes, achievements, and total respect of fellow musicians that follow Bill Emerson wherever he goes. Bill was certainly an influence on Geoff's banjo playing. Being a Virginian all his life, Bill developed an affinity for this little creature that seems to be symbolic of the state. Also being fond of curly cherry wood and gold plating with a matte finish, Bill wanted a Red Fox banjo that featured both. Stelling was glad to oblige with the Bill Emerson Signature model. Bill's signature is featured in abalone at the 19th fret. Wood: Figured Cherry (stained) Plating: Matte Gold/Spec. Eng. Includes Stelling hardshell case. • Includes Stelling Hardshell Case (Retails: on this extraordinary banjo - )

Stelling has officially announced that this model is now discontinued.


Stelling Staghorn Alan Munde Signature Model: In 1994, Stelling Banjo Works celebrated its 20th anniversary by building a limited number of 20th Anniversary Staghorn model banjos. These eight banjos featured unstained quilted maple, ebony binding, and heavily engraved black-chromed and gold-plated metal parts. Alan Munde received the first one of these in celebration of his 20th year with Stelling Banjo Works. The Alan Munde Signature Staghorn features the same black chrome over engraved metal parts and unstained Canadian birch to create the same striking contrast between dark metal and light wood as with the 20th Anniversary model. Alan Munde's signature in abalone replaces the Staghorn nameplate at the 17th fret. • Includes Stelling Hardshell Case (Retails: on this superb Staghorn: )
