Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Four strings and two stated tuning paths make the Sierra Plectrum a flexible choice for plectrum-banjo work. It is tuned C, G, B, D for Dixieland jazz, and it can also be tuned D, G, B, E for guitar-style tuning. The pot assembly includes a three-ply violin-grade maple rim, -06- tone ring, one-piece zinc flange, notched tension hoop, Deering tailpiece, and armrest. Deering describes the result as bringing brilliant clarity, full-bodied richness, dynamic power, and sweet resonance.
