Deering Goodtime Special Openback 5-string Banjo
The newly Patented Goodtime Special Tone Ring designed by Deering produces a powerfully crisp, bright & sparkling tone. The openback style makes it suitable for clawhammer or frailing styles of playing, while the increased brightness and volume is a benefit to players who play in the more traditional bluegrass style. The volume of tone is a wonderful surprise to players. If you’re looking for a banjo with good volume and tone, and prefer to keep the cost as low as possible, then this is the banjo for you. This banjo will perform well in a jam session or band setting, feel comfortable, fret correctly, and be a stable instrument you can play for years to come.
