Scott Avett's Banjos

Hide incorrect submissions

"The first banjo I got was a Sierra and then the second one was a Black Diamond. They sound similar and they are the banjos I use more on stage as my number one and two. They are both very resilient and very sturdy. And just do terrific on the road as my workhorses.

I have a Tenbrooks Legacy it is a much prettier sounding banjo, a little more delicate.

I’ve got the two Vega (Senators) and the Calico (with a custom 4” openback pot) and those I play more now at home than anything else."

"Getting that energy isn’t easy on their instruments--the band is known for breaking dozens of strings per set. To absorb the abuse, Scott has always been a fan of Deering banjos. He bought his first Deering Sierra in the summer of 2001 and has had it ever since, accompanied now by a Black Diamond, a Tenbrooks and a Deluxe. Recently, they’ve been joined by a couple of Stellings--a Crusader and a Staghorn." -Scott Avett
