Terry Baucom Deering banjo
Deering Banjos has announced their newest model here at IBMA, the Terry Baucom signature banjo.
This is a walnut banjo, and the first Deering model to be introduced with the new rim and lightweight tone ring designed by Greg Deering and Jens Kruger. Deering has also created a new inlay pattern for the Baucom model, which Greg describes as a regal design.
Terry was understandably proud to receive the first Baucom Model at the Deering Showcase Tuesday night (9/30).
“I am extremely excited about the opportunity to partner with Deering Banjos at this stage in my career. Greg and Janet have provided me with a professional level instrument that is well suited to my style.
I feel fortunate to be included in the Deering Banjo Family.”
Deering will have more photos and details available soon on their web site.
