The Eagle II, popularized by Mumford & Son's Winston Marshall, is Deering's newest, and most affordable, professional-grade resonator 5-string banjo. The Eagle II banjo is a whole new breed of banjo. It features the ground breaking, patent pending Twenty-Ten Tone Ring which is a completely original Deering design that is unlike any other traditional tone ring. It produces a high quality sound that is versatile for many styles of playing. While the sound is uniquely Eagle, it represents a refinement in the quality of banjo tone, something that allows the player to soar to new heights. It is perfect for the player who wants a professional quality banjo that he can use for playing many styles of music.
The new Eagle II Banjo was the first place prize at the 2010 Merlefest Banjo Contest in Wilkesboro, North Carolina.
