One lucky winner will receive the Deering Rare Bird Alert Goodtime banjo and Deering gig bag, plus a strap, electronic tuner, full set of picks, Steve Martin’s Rare Bird Alert CD, and a banjo tablature book.

This Deering banjo is easy to play with clarity of note separation and round full-bodied tone. Crafted out of eastern American maple, it is made in a natural color with a satin finish and has a fingerboard with hardwood bow tie inlays and a violin grade three-ply maple rim. The retail value of this American-made instrument and accessories is $699.

My dream band (symphonic metal / rock) has a violin and a banjo plus the usual electric gadgetry. But I'm still struggling with my keyboard and guitars - my next instrument (should I live so long) will be drums.

However, I've passed this on to a pal who is very into banjos.
