I was looking for a retirement gift for myself and decided to stop by the Deering showroom to see…read morewhat the banjos and the company was all about. Prior to arriving, I researched their products and history on their website so I would have some idea what I was looking at when I got there. I stopped by unannounced (no appointment) yesterday and was extremely disappointed with what I found. According to the "salesperson" (?) who was talking to another customer, all the banjos in their showroom are factory "scratch and dents" or used! Additionally, they were all filthy; covered in dust, and greasy finger prints all over the metal components. The one Sierra hanging on the wall had a 3" crack running down the back, and several of the Goodtimes had a gap between the neck and the body. Not exactly the image I was expecting. Imagine if you went to a car factory, and all the cars in the showroom had a cracked windshield or chipped paint or flat tires or 50,000 miles on them. Would you be impressed? Would you be inspired to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars based on what you saw? I certainly was not, and put my wallet away almost immediately. That's your factory showroom, Deering! Only the best of your best should be on display in there! And if you're willing to let those second rate instruments be your "best foot forward", then what are you willing to ship out to retailers? Disappointed, unlikely future customer.

(Free) We were greeted as we walked in by a friendly receptionist who lead us to the showroom where we waited for our tour guide. Carolina was our guides name and was very knowledgeable. She lead us through the factory, stopping at each station explaining every step of how they make their banjos. Questions were welcomed and answered completely. Factory tours are such a great way to see quality products made in the USA, and this tour didn't disappoint!

Our experience with Tiffany has been absolutely wonderful. She has truly helped my daughter 'find her voice' in so many ways.

I had no idea how beautiful my daughter's voice was--or how much potential she had--before working with Tiffany. We are incredibly grateful to have her as our voice teacher.
