The Korena take
The Sierra 17-Fret Tenor brings Deering’s '06 tone ring, three-ply maple rim, one-piece resonator flange, and fully adjustable tailpiece into a 17-fret tenor layout. Its mahogany neck has a slim profile and an ebony fingerboard. It is voiced for a warm, full, bright response and supports both CGDA jazz tuning and low GDAE Irish tuning, giving players one tenor banjo for either tuning approach.
