I brought a Silver Clipper from Eagle Music Huddersfield England and met with Jens. What an amazing gentleman he is like his music wonderful and warm. I started to play Banjo at 73 years young with a Deering and they are all phenomenal able to suit all abilities and styles. However buying an expensive banjo does not make you a better player. Thank you to the Kruger Bros and Joel for bringing music into my life. Kind regards Tim
I've purchased what probably amounts to over $20K in Deering banjos over the past decades but none, and I mean NONE, of my Deering banjos have the notes that Jens is coaxing out of that Silver Clipper. That man is phenomenal... and that banjo ain't too shabby either! :o)
I wonder -- how does this banjo sound so vastly different than my Sierra? Examining the specs, the only real difference I note is the tapered side walls. But then, this is a feature the Silver Clipper shares in common with a number of the other high-end models. So what makes it sound so much richer, so full of overtones -- as if a mixture stop on an organ has been added?
I have a a silver Clipper. It sounds ok. The neck is too beefy. I’m thinking digging into it with a rip saw to thin it down some. Anyone else feel the same?
Some people can, some people can't, others simply work towards it. We offer the very affordable, and excellent quality Goodtime range to cater to all players.
The Silver Clipper does not have the focus and purity of tone the Jen’s banjo has. I have a Silver Clipper that I’ll be replacing the tone ring with the Jen’s ring. Should make a marked improvement in tone.

The banjo sounds remarkable and Jens playing is off the charts! And his explanation of the attack, sustain, timbre etc, is so thorough.
What a legend you are Jens !

My first time hearing Jens play and I am blown away. Such a virtuoso! The banjos are works of art as well, thanks for the videos.
Watch out. You'll quickly become addicted to Jens' playing. I have.
Far out Jens that was insane playing
WOW, that was good
The banjo learns romance - via Jens Kruger
It also has a thinner armrest which is very comfortable and looks cool.
Incredible playing, but then Jens could play a spring from a screen door and make it sound great.
If anyone deserves this instrument..it is Jens. C'mon Deering!
Jens has a decent banjo collection, including his signature model. :-)

The Sierra is a an amazing banjo and you are in good company by playing one. Kind regards Tim
Deering, do you know what song he is playing in the beginning?
Deering, hook me up with my first banjo please :D
What song is he playing?

Please don't do that. :-)
It sounds a bit weird to me here.
If if you can afford it ...
