From Louise Robertson sent 12/08/2010
Hi Jules, Just wanted to say thanks for the great service and prompt delivery I received from your company on my ukulele order. I had almost given up hope of having a uke as Amazon and various other music companies refused to send my order overseas here to Spain which I think is a little short-sighted of them, given that the UK is part of the EU but then that is their loss. So I was really pleased to find your company on the web and to discover that you did, indeed, send overseas. Should I need anything else I will definitely be in touch. I am really enjoying learning to play my uke although I am a complete beginner and know absolutely nothing about music, but it is really not that difficult and the book that I got with it explains things very well. Kind Regards, Louise Robertson

From Martin Goddard sent 05/08/2010
Attention of both Steve and Sean Just a line to let you know that my order (Mainland uke & case) has arrived safely. I'm grateful to you for your careful packing and its speedy delivery - great service. Many thanks. (Steve - ) The case is fine. Thanks for your help; it's a good fit. Regards, Martin

From Philip Beasley sent 02/08/2010
Hi Steve Received the ‘jo back on Friday. Thank you very much for the note and the customer care. It is playing beautifully with the lighter strings. All I can think is that now that after 7 months playing the instrument, I have become more attuned to it and the lighter strings do not pose the same sensitivity problems that they did when I first started out with it. With hindsight, I should have persevered with the original strings – impatience is never a virtue!and again, thank you for your sound advice. Kind Regards Philip Beasley

From Peter Howarth sent 01/07/2010

Hi Jules, I have already been able to dismantle my banjo and fit the new fiberskin head and set of strings. This was an interesting experience, although I did know what was involved as before I started I had watched Greg Deering's DVD where he dismantled/re-assembled his banjo on your stage) At was all worthwhile as it is like having a new banjo with excellent tone and a bright crisp sound.. I would certainly recommend this DVD to anyone who had to replace their banjo head.

From Stuart McCall sent 27/05/2010
Hi Steve, Just received my Goodtime Leader banjo 3 hours ago. My goodness it was well packaged!!! Since running through 'worried man blues' on it I still have a 'Cheshire Cat' smile on my face. The tone and strength of the sound is just unbelievable. I have no complaints about my Ozark 2105GL but there is just no comparison between the two instruments. Purchasing the Goodtime Leader stretched my 'personal indulgence' fund to the limit but it was well worth it. Thanks again. Regards, Stuart

From Bob Jones sent 02/04/2010
Hi Steve Re: Deering banjo 5th tuner screw Just to say thanks again for sorting that screw for me - I really appreciate it! Prior to talking to you I had scoured local shops and looked extensively online trying to locate a similar screw. To no avail of course - being of US specification didn't help and not being able to exactly describe/define the screw meant that buying online was going to be a bit of trial and error with me no doubt ending up with many packets of many screws that wouldn't fit! Needless to say yours fitted perfectly - and of course matched the the screws in the other pegs. The guys on the Banjo Hangout were very helpful tho', and it was someone there who recommended my calling you. I made a point of telling the forum that you had come up trumps so Eagle Music's good customer service will have been widely noted! I enjoyed looking at your photo gallery showing your 'Eagle Music Shop Banjo 1000 Event'. Looks like you had a good day! I'll try to make the next 1000th banjo event! Best wishes Bob Jones

Totslly forgot to say in yesterday`s message what a great debt we owe to Greg and Janet Deering - without them there would be no Deering weekend and we would never have been introduced to the wonderful music of the Krugers Their talks over the years about making and playing banjos have been really educational and interesting. They make time for everyone and will help sort out any problems

Many. many thanks Steve - to you and everyone at the Eagle Centre (as Greg calls it) for giving us yet another opportunity to spend time with Jens, Uwe, Joel, Greg and Janet.

There can`t be another place like Eagle Music in the world that provides so much friendship and expertise to its customers. Long may you reign and, most importantly, bring the Krugers back again next year !! Best wishes to you all By the way their new CD Forever and a Day is fantastic !!

What a lucky day when I decided to by my new banjo from Eagle Music in Huddersfield. I am a novice and therfore heavilly reliant on good advice, I ordered through the website but had nagging doubts about my choice, so I rang the shop and spoke to Steve. I wasn't treated like an idiot, I had excellent advice, and I chose a Deering Gootime 2. The banjo was superbly set up ready to play strait from the box, just like the advert says. I am thrilled with the customer service and my new banjo. Thanks guys and girls of Eagle Music, I will be recommending you to all my Banjo Hangout pals. Best wishes, Keith

From Dave and Anwyl Williams sent 02/12/2009
Hi Tim Many many thanks for the two instruments they arrived safely and well packed. We took them to our session and they were excellent. The Recording King Mandolin cut through the session so that we we could lead the tunes. It was excellent for Bluegrass, old timey, blues and general good time music. The sound is mellow but very loud, great. It looks stunning. The Hohner Compadre was far far better than I expected. It really complimented the Castagnari Tommy and Saltarelli Connemara III that I have already. It came into its own with the Texmex, Country songs that we play. The colour was a real talking point. I had two Hohner Pokerworks years ago and this seemed far better. Thank you very much for all your help we certainly will be dealing with you again. Dave and Anwyl Williams

The instrument is a thing of beauty, and I just hope I live long enough to play it as good as it looks. It sounds absolutely beautiful going through my Fender Frontman 212R.

Anyway , thanks to Tim , et al. for the professional and courteous help. I would also at this time like to ask Tim which strings he would use as replacements when necessary.

I've been busy with other stuff yesterday and today, and didn't get the chance to pick up my mandolin until half an hour ago.

From Gavin Scott sent 08/06/2009
Hi Steve, Just a quick note to thank you and all the team for a wonderful day yesterday, and a fantastic evening concert with Tim & Co. followed by the Krugers. My wife Dawn was uncertain about coming with things on at home, but she found the whole experience quite mind blowing. She was moved to tears during the concert (and not because of Tim’s shirt!) and was on her feet at the end, whooping like a true devotee – she’ll be back next year without doubt. Jens said something during the afternoon workshop which I found both deeply profound and revealing of his absolute mastery and understanding of what making music was about. I can’t remember his actual words but would be pleased to hear whether or not you recorded the session so that I could have another look at it and get it down word for word. Like Greg Deering said, simply life changing. Many congratulations too with your certificate from the Deerings – a great day for everyone on the team and further confirmation of your status as a top banjo retailer. Please let me if you recorded the workshop, Best wishes, Gavin Scott

Emma, Just to say my order of an Ozark 2109 and case arrived safely today. All very well packed. Many thanks to you and the team. I bought this banjo as a cheap travel banjo and general 'knock about', without really knowing much about it I have to confess. Boy, was I surprised. She is a little beauty. Well set up, and pretty good build quality for the price; only needed a slight tuning tweak straight out of the box, and sounds delightful. Really clear note separation, good sustain and a sweet tone. Lovely to play. Sounds way better than my Goldtone WL I have to say (reluctantly). Even my wife straightaway remarked that she loved the sound of it, without me even prompting for a comment! An acolade indeed! I even like the guitar tuners on it (always having preferred planetaries) after just one evening of switching tunings, so much so I am now thinking of asking Jason Romero to change the spec on the custom he is building for me to a slot head.

Hi Steve & all at Eagle, I recently took delivery of the Tanglewood Guitar banjo. It is a really great fun instrument for the money. Nicely set up by yourselves, as always, and exceeds all my expectations. Many thanks for the recommendation. I must also mention the Ozark tenor Kells banjo I bought from you on your recommendation a couple of years ago. That is just the best session banjo ever for a very reasonable price. I am sure that both these instruments are as good as they are thanks to your technicians. I would not hestitate to recommend you to any banjo player, beginner or professional. Eagle delivers!

From David Howe sent 19/03/2009
Hi Guys, I just wanted to drop you a quick line.........I received the banjo yesterday (beautifully packaged) and I wanted to say a big thank you! Firstly for all your help (and patience) on the phone and secondly because I am absolutely delighted with the instrument. After the lemon I managed to pick up on e-bay (!) I now have a great looking and sounding banjo that doesn't require a vice like grip in the left hand just to get the strings down!! The difference is like night and day, and I'm only sorry I didn't come to you in the first place......lesson learned. Safe to say I'll definitely be back, and that it's great to deal with a company that offers great customer service and clearly knows it's stuff inside out. Once again, many thanks for everything. Best regards David Howe

Hello I'm sure you are very busy but I just wanted to take a moment of your time to say thank you. A few weeks before Christmas I ordered a Tanglewood ukulele from you. It arrived promptly but I did not unpack it because, as usual, I was spending Christmas Day on my own and wanted some element of surprise (How sad is that?) Anyway comes the big day and I am trembling in case it was damaged and my present to myself is ruined. I needn't have worried - the packing was excellent, the ukulele was in great condition and even after waiting all that time it was still in tune. So thank you Eagle music. If I am successful in learning the ukulele I will be back for a ukulele banjo ! I'm already saving my money. Alec Smith.

AS a professional jazz trumpeter I know zilch about ukuleles, but wanted one for fun. With out any pressure or sales pitch Steve sold me a Kahuna Concert which is fabulous - great intonation; a mellow sweet sound and incredible sustain and projection. I haven't been able to put it down, so I've just bought a Kahuna tenor uke from him so other members of family can play! Great service from Steve who took a patient and personal interest in my questions. I wish there was a comparable brass dealer in the UK! Visit www.myspace.com/andydickens for verification and possibly a uke tune in the near future! Really good service and fabulous instruments.

From Customer review. sent 02/08/2008
Ozark bouzouki, great instrument for under £100 from Eagle Music. I've had mine for a while now & I've had as much fun with this instrument as with anything I play. Although not like playing a cittern or somethig equally sophisticated, it still turns heads in sessions where the dominant instruments are guitars & it sounds great against quite expensive other kit. No one would claim a beautiful playing action in an instrument at this price, but its far from hard work and the sound is both loud and fullish in tone. The only reason I didn't give the starterpack 5 is I wish the gig bag were a better fit, I feel I have to pad out the end. But it would be difficult to find an off the shelf bag to fit, so perhaps it should be four & three quarters

From Philip Beamont sent 02/08/2008
I recently purchased a Hohner Compadre from Eagle Music Shop and I am very pleased with it. I have played a Hohner Corona 111 now for some 34 years originally for Morris but for the last 28 years I have regularly played in sessions, for country dance and the odd concert with a fiddler who enjoys playing many tunes in A. It was my only box for many years, I then purchased a Saltarelle Irish Bouebe DG And a few years ago a Castagnari Lily DG as well for a variety in tone weight and voice. It became obvious recently that the Corona 111 would need either a reduction in workload or major work to prolong its useful life. So I went looking for a reserve ADG three row and found the Hohner Compadre and decided to buy it to take hard work off the old Corona 111 I, and the fiddler I play with, have been very pleasantly surprised in the quality of the sound it produces. I am also happy with the action, the finish may be a bit basic but along with the carrying holdall I think it provide a package that is excellent value for money. The only minor niggles for me are the thumb strap that is fixed with two rivets that makes it difficult to swivel round when not in use and the shoulder strap that is webbing and rather bulky and fussy to adjust but adequate and comfortable enough in use. I have no hesitation in recommending this box anyone who needs the ADG range either as a first or reserve box at a very competitive and reasonable cost. Philip Beamont Cornwall.

From Robert Bartlett sent 11/07/2008
Steve... Just a line to let you know the Vega arrived safely. Good job, well done. Spikes much appreciated. I also have to thank you for the beautiful Hartford... as all good instruments do, it defies description in words. The sound and projection are incredible; for some reason it's "easier" to play - probably because it's such a lovely thing you want to play it - and I am barely able to put it down once the playing has begun. It has already drawn gasps from several of my friends and it's only on having it sitting around and being able to study it at leisure that the full beauty of the workmanship, inlays and woods becomes truly apparent. Am I impressed? Yes, in a word, and that from a bloke who's seen more than his fair share of impressive instruments in the past 50 years. My thanks to you and your team for your help and service as ever... and if you happen to see Greg Deering, tell him here is one delighted and appreciative customer. Cheers, Rob and Suzie

Even so the attention, and consideration displayed by you both, to myself and other customers added to what was in my case an extremely satisfying and enjoyable experience. I spoke with PJE today and passed on your best wishes, I look forward to dealing with you again in the near future. Kindest Regards David.

It has transformed it completely and is now a joy to play. The improvement is out of all proportion to the cost involved which I know was done at a very competitive price. I also greatly appreciate the advice you gave me on the Blueridge acoustic I brought in. It has only strengthened my resolve to buy a Martin from you as soon as I'm able. Kind Regards, Kev G

Dear all at Eagle Music, I ordered a banjo (Ozark 2105G with gig bag) & I just wanted to let you know how utterly impressed I was with the excellent price, quality & service I received from Eagle. Many thanks, especially to Tim who dealt with my order so swiftly - less than 36 hours from order to arrival! Excellent packaging as well. Its a great relief to know that there is a truly reliable online music store, particularly since Selby's only music shop closed a few months ago & buying strings, picks, harmonicas etc. required a 40 mile round trip by public transport, costing far more than your P&P prices, which were also excellent by the way. Thanks once again - I will not hesitate to recommend you to my muso mates & indeed anyone else I happen to stumble upon. Dave

Hello Steve Thanks for the info on the DVD`s and CD`s - we shall no doubt be coming into the shop again soon - my husband Ken recently bought another 5 string banjo from you (expertly demonstrated by Tim)!!! That`s his second new one this year from Eagle so after 30 years of trying he is now having lessons!! Yes, the KB are great and any other word you use to describe them doesn`t come near.!! I didn`t come to the March concert - Ken and a neighbour did = he bought The Suite and having heard bits if it every morning over breakfast for a week I thought I had better listen to this - I was totally amazed - never have I heard such wonderful music from a banjo - yes, they are brilliant bordering on genius and yes, I am a fan!! I hope they will be coming back soon so that I can enjoy their music live and not on a machine Regards Rosemary

Hello there, I just wanted to say thank you for giving us such a lovely experience today. I visited your shop with my friends today, one of which had a pick up fitted to her banjo. It was lovely to be in a friendly well-stocked environment, with freedom to browse without any pressure to buy. I actually bought a bow, which I’m very pleased with. In this day and age of consumerism and globalisation, it was a pleasure to come to a family run business and be treated as a human being and with respect. We will all be recommending you to our musician friends. Thank you again, and keep up the good work. Tracey Smith Fiddler, Merlin’s Keep, Grimsby

It was lovely seeing so many likeminded people enjoying the day and the evening concert - what can you say - so very memorable the icing on the cake and such lovely people. Do hope they dont get caught up in the imminent storms which no doubt will be affecting flights.

From Tony and Richard Bostock sent 17/03/2008
Dear Rachel, Can you please pass on our thanks to your Dad and all of your team for a fantastic day out at Eagle Music. Three years ago, my son Richard, who has a girlfriend Julie, from Anderson, South Carolina, introduced me to the music of the Kruger Brothers. Julie’s parents always go the Carolina in the Fall concerts in October, and invited Richard along to meet the Krugers on two previous occasions. He was so smitten by the band that he brought me numerous CD’s and I also became hooked. Jens has invited Ric to his house after the “Fall Concert” to a party and “do some music”!!!. Richard is an accomplished guitarist and has a band made up from 3 other College/University friends who play mainly now for the fun, or to raise money for local charities. Having graduated, they are all now fully employed as a BMW executive, medical scientist, language teacher and media expert. They helped me raise over £2,000 last weekend to help restore the local Youth Club, that had been vandalised. Their contribution was to learn and then play over two hours of “Sixties” music at the fund raiser. Back to the weekend. The venue was excellent, the organisation first class, and a great bunch of people all sharing their love of live music. The Kruger Brothers are without doubt a band full of “musical genius”. It goes without saying that the audiences during the workshops and during the evening were left “gob smacked” by their musical skill, knowledge, humour and also humility. You could not wish to meet three nicer guys. Can I also pay tribute to the Howard Brothers, who were a superb support band. Obviously from the website, and their professionalism, it is clear they are all experienced and accomplished musicians. Tim Howard, set the tone of the evening with excellent singing, real “Yorkshire Humour” and demonstrated great skill in playing two of his wide range of musical instruments. The informal talk by Greg and Janet Dearing was really interesting and very inspiring. To have such a wealth of knowledge, vast array of superb instruments available for playing, excellent workshop tutors made booking for the day worthwhile. I hope that we see more of the Krugers, as word will surely spread like wildfire, and that we are informed via e-mail, or through your excellent website of further Workshops/Concerts. Again, many thanks for a brilliant day, Tony and Richard Bostock.

From Gordon Temple sent 17/03/2008
Well done Eagle Music Shop and thank you for a wonderful day spent with you on Saturday. The whole event was I am sure a huge success and my grandson and I were amazed by the warmth , friendliness and camaraderie of all those devotees present. Although very much a `learner` of the wonderful banjo instrument I did not feel overwhelmed by the vast majority of very proficient players around me. The concert was something I will always remember and I was totally mesmerised by the performance of the Kruger Brothers in particular. It was good to have a quick word with that delightful couple, Janet and Greg Deering whose words of encouragement were very welcome. Once again my thanks to you and your staff for a fantastic day and I look forward to the next time. Regards Gordon R.Temple.

Hi, First of all I'd just like to say thank-you for a great day on Saturday. I'm in the same mind as Greg Deering and Tim Howard. "Don't pick up a banjo when there's talent like that in the room." On a serious note. I found out about this event at the last minute through Banjohangout. I almost missed this one, I don't remember seeing last year's event advertised.

Erin Hand Built Bouzouki. Steve Noon told me this bouzouki would be the best I have played and that all my friends would be amazed by the clarity and volume. He was dead right! I have had this bouzouki for about two months now and it just gets better. The workmanship is top notch and the woods used are the very best. Most bouzoukis go out of tune as you go up the finger board but this stays in better than any I have heard even though I have it strung in octave. I thoroughly recommend this beauty but be quick because when Steve Agnew becomes better known his instruments are going to cost mega-bucks. Stephen Swoffer.

It is by far the best advise I have had, and your staff were very warm and welcoming, as you said, you could have tried to sell me a much more expensive banjo, but you were very honest in your years of experience as a profesional musician. I am very well pleased with my purchase, to the point that I still look forward to taking it out of the case. I will never make the big time as a musician, but, it gives me great self satisfaction to play a profesionals instrument. I will be visiting your shop again in the near future to buy a strap, and a few other bits, and I know I will get the same standard of salesmanship as my first visit. Once again, many thanks for everything.
Best Wishes, Denver Smith.

From Dave Metcalfe sent 22/08/2007
Dear Steve and colleagues, Thanks for all the hard work you all put in today to get me to buy the Calico. My friend Chris and I both enjoyed our day out at your lovely shop immensely. We stopped at a pub just outside Huddersfield for some lunch on the way home and I got a gig for this coming Saturday, which rounded off the trip very nicely. I'm really looking forward to getting to grips with the new banjo, especially after watching Tim play. It seems as though I'll make it through to my 40th wedding anniversary next month after all (and I did confess the full price to my wife almost immediately) - she says that I'm not getting off the hook that easily. I'll see you again, maybe for some railroad spikes, Kind regards, Dave.

To Steve and the crew, all I can say is, it has been a pleasure doing business with you guys, ordered the banjo on Tuesday night and received it on Thursday. It was everything I hoped for. I cant say enough about you guys, from the advice you all gave me (workshop inc) and the banjo is beautiful. All I need now to go along with the Scrugg's pegs is a pair of Scrugg's fingers (don't know if you supply them) All the best to the whole team from Scotland.

Hi Steve, Into my second day with my new Banjo and even my wife is impressed with it. I phoned yesterday to thank you personally but you where busy with customers of which I am not surprised. . I only wish the music shops here in Eastbourne were as good. ( xxxxx xx xxxxxxx) Sorry but thats the standard of service . They advertise that they have just won an award for customer service, shame I wasnt asked I would have upset them. Still I am impressed with the service and speed of delivery I have been given and I am just as quick to respond with how excellent your standard of service is. I will be using your services in the future and passing on your name. Once again Thankyou. Q. Whats the difference between a dead cat runover in the road and a dead banjo player runover in the road.

Hi to all at Eagle Music. I'm fortunate to live near enough to shop personaaly at Eagle Music and would just like to say thankyou for making us welcome and free to browse. The kettle really is always on and we're always given a lovely cuppa. The staff are warm and cheerful, willing to offer help but never pushy. I'm always offered a chair and a quiet corner to take my time and try an instrument out. The friendliest and best stocked music shop I've ever been to. Brilliant!

Thanks very much for your great service and quick delivery. The fiddle is lovely and all the extras make the perfect starters kit.
Your website is great, you have such a wide range of lovely instruments and accessories.

Hi Steve Just sending this email to say how much we enjoyed visiting Eaglemusicshop last Sunday. It was really nice to meet you and your family. I was disappointed at not being able to get there for the very special day on the Saturday but have enjoyed looking at the clips on your website. What a pleasure it was to meet Greg and Janet Deering and for Greg to play the Black Diamond Banjo for me. This was for me the chance of a lifetime and I am absolutely delighted to have bought the actual Banjo that Greg himself played. Buying this banjo was a big thing to me. It is a real gem, looks and sound great and is so much easier to play than any other banjo I have ever owned. I just have to keep opening the case and looking at my Deering Banjo just to believe I really do own one, and then of course it just has to be played! We all enjoyed our visit to your wonderful shop - an Alladins Cave with a genuine family run atmosphere. Thanks again and I will get in touch soon to arrange for you to do the set-up as discussed last Sunday. Best wishes Clive Halls, wife Jacqui and friends Brian and Brenda.

Hi Steve Just a note to say how much I appreciate the work you did fixing the warped neck on my banjo. As you are probably unaware, I have recently been gravely ill for several weeks leading up to 2 major operations. I have yet to fully recover. One of the methods that were instrumental (forgive the pun) to my recovery was playing my banjo, whose beautiful tone and life affirming sound made what should have been a very depressing time much more bearable. I'd like to personally thank Deering and you for making it possible for such a beautiful instrument to come into my life. Much thanks Mark Whittle-Bruce in Norfolk

From Joe W sent 15/04/2007
Hi, Steve Many thanks for the invitation to your (as it turned out, unmissable) 'Deeringfest'. It was a really great day, with a jaw-droppingly good line-up of players (my wife is consequently now a convert!) . . . and of course the wonderfully unassuming Greg D, the Leo Fender of the banjo world - as a guitar player, I can't think of a better tribute. Since I finished building my Strat, just over a year ago, the banjo remained ignored and untouched in the study, but your timely event provided the much-needed inspiration (kick up the a***) to dust it off and start pickin'. Congratulations on your well-deserved success. Regards Joe W

Hi to all at Eagle, Just a quick email to say what a great day I had last Saturday. It had it all, good music, good company, opportunity to try the instruments - and all for free! - what more could you ask for? I thought Greg's talk was worth the visit on its own - and I learnt a lot. You managed to get a great balance of banjo styles so that there was something for all, and, everyone I spoke to seemed to have had a good time (no pun intended!). Thank you Steve, and all your team, for your efforts and for giving us all a super day. Please accept my congratulations on a job well done. Best regards, Martin Dale Tenor banjo player

Dear Steve, I just thought I'd drop you a very short note to say a very big thank you for the invitation to share the events of Saturday with you. The whole event was very well organised and the ambiance, conversation and entertainment were fantastic. - It would be easy to run out of superlatives trying to describe it. Being so new to the bluegrass banjo, it was an uplifting experience to see and meet so many people of differing abilities. It was a memorable occasion, and I do count myself honoured to have met with the famous (but so very human) Greg and Janet Deering. (It's great to see how much they stress that they form a team.) Please pass on my thanks to the rest of the team, especially Joan, Jim and Alan (who really wanted to give me a great price on a short-necked tenor Sierra, but my wife wouldn't have been amused if I'd turned up at home with one ! - She took 2 months to get over the Maple Blossom ! - but I'm working on it !!!) Thank you ever so very much for the opportunity to share the day with you all. Keep in touch. All the very best. Kindest regards Mike Black Michael D.

hi Steve, just a few words of thanks the way you changed the banjos for me. It is refreshing to see that in these "modern" times that there is someone who gives a ---- about things. I did enjoy my trip down there yesterday, or should I say I enjoyed it once I arrived. I am not used to driving on these Grand Prix motorways you have down there!!! I don't think I will buy another banjo from you again as I don't think I will ever change it, this John Hartford is awesome. and maybe it is the way it has been set up but does sound a hell of a lot better than the first one. I sat down today and played it and tunes were just flowing from it. Steve you are in my opinion simply the best ,better than all the rest better than anyone....... hey simply the best... How's your sore throat? Well done on your commendation from Deering.I did enjoy Greg's presentation, it certainly gave me a few tips on set-ups etc... anyway I had to get back home as my mum is in hospital after a fall and hurt her back, my son's wife's expecting any day now, does this sound like a country/western song? I am going to put a review on banjo hangout on this banjo sometimes soon, (even as a novice) This banjo actually plays itself, Steve thanks again, after playing another two banjos over the last couple of years this is an absolutely wonderful instrument. It stands in our study and I just can't stop looking at it. thanks again John Easingwood

From Andrew Walker sent 24/03/2007
Thanks to all at Eagle music for a great day out at the Deering Banjo Event. The guest playing spots were a lesson in banjo playing, not often you see so much talent under one roof.

At Christmas I bought my son a Tanglewood 3/4 Les Paul copy and the chap spent quite a bit of time setting it up. Today I bought a basic kit to practice with my lad and again got time and effort from the bloke even though it was a starter outfit. When he learned I liked bluegrass he took me through the basics of banjo playing. I'm not normally given to handing out compliments (much prefer a good moan) but it was a standard of service you don't see much nowadays. Even got offered a drink on both visits. Suffice to say, well done. PS - I'll be back for that banjo. All the Best, Colin Higgins Holmfirth
