Heres what Greg Deering says about the Eagle II banjo ...The Eagle banjo is a whole new breed of banjo. The Eagle banjo features the ground breaking, patent pending Twenty-Ten Tone Ring which is a completely original Deering design unlike any other traditional tone ring. It produces a high quality sound that is versatile for many styles of playing. While the sound is uniquely Eagle, it represents a refinement in the quality of banjo tone, something that allows the player to soar to new heights. It is perfect for the player who wants a professional quality banjo that he can use for playing many styles of music. With the launch of this spectacular new banjo, we are releasing the Eagle banjo exclusively through our Master Dealers (Eagle Music are the Master Dealers for the UK)

The Eagle II has a strong mid range tone with good bass and vibrant highs that is versatile for playing both Bluegrass and Clawhammer styles. This fine banjo holds its own when played in a hard driving bluegrass session, on stage or played gently in the comfort of your own home …the quality and clarity of tone is quite exceptional.
