The Deering Banjo Company was started in 1975 by Greg and Janet Deering. They are located in Spring Valley, California. It is now run by their daughter Jamie Deering.[1] Deering Banjos makes Deering, Vega, Tenbrooks, and Goodtime banjos. Many notable banjo players play Deering banjos. For example, Winston Marshal, founding member of Mumford & Sons, plays banjos made by Deering.[2] He originally played an Eagle but has transitioned to various instruments including a signature model that bears his name. Deering Banjos, handmade in California, are the largest manufacturer of banjos in North America.[3]
