I studied for a week for Kieran Harahan at Gaelic Roots in Boston. One thing you can be sure of, if he says the Deering Calico is good then that's just what he means. Back then, he took my banjo and played it for a minute. He handed it back and said, "No. Not the tone for me." He knows what he likes.
