C, G, D, A tuning
The instrument is identified for Dixieland or traditional-jazz tuning.

Independent shopping perspective
Built as a 19-fret tenor banjo, the Sierra is set up in C, G, D, A for Dixieland and traditional-jazz work. Its pot combines a three-ply violin-grade maple rim with Deering’s -06- tone ring, one-piece zinc flange, notched tension hoop, tailpiece, and armrest. The model pairs that professional-level hardware package with detailed visual appointments informed by early Boston banjo artwork, rather than a stripped-down presentation.
