This is one of my favorite models that Deering puts out...I personally own one and have found it to have the best, smoothest neck I've ever played on. Everything about this banjo is top-end. This is truly a superb example of American craftsmanship and artistry.
"The Black Diamond banjo evolved from requests for a fancier banjo than the Deluxe but with the same sweet tone of a mahogany banjo. The mother-of-pearl diamond shaped inlays are hand-engraved. This kind of detailing requires the skills of a master craftsman and pays off in added beauty. A maple stripe accentuates the black binding around the resonator and the side of the ebony fingerboard. The banjo head is made of black mylar so the color will not scratch off. You get the same three-ply maple rim, virgin bell bronze sand cast tone-ring, zinc flange and nickel plated hardware on the Black Diamond that you get on the most expensive Deering models.
The sweet sounding Black Diamond has a very refined and showy appearance. The shiny black head and black trim give it a modern and progressive look. It's the only model with the inlays hand engraved giving it a very classy appearance. It's an excellent performing banjo and a hot looking banjo as well."

Dear Shelley and Cheryl,
Just thought I would drop you a note and let you know that I received the Black Diamond on Friday evening. It is by far the best banjo I have ever played. It wasn't scheduled to be delivered untill Monday, so I had to talk the girl at Fed Ex into letting me look through their freight Friday night. I was a little hesitant to buy a banjo without playing it first, but this one has incredible tone and the neck just "feels" right.
Thanks again,
Kelly (Opie) Benscoter
