Banjo Warehouse is proud to be an authorized Deering dealer — and for Geoff, it’s a homecoming. Back in 1980, he was Deering’s #1 distributor when he ran a music store in Atlanta. A lot has changed since then, but Geoff knows these banjos inside and out.
Since 1975, Deering has been handcrafting banjos in Spring Valley, California — making it the largest American banjo manufacturer. No overseas factories. No outsourcing. Just skilled craftsmen building instruments that last a lifetime.
