    The Deering Goodtime 2- 5 String Banjo has a resonator back that provides more projection of sound. Greg Deering remembers what it was like to want a good banjo and not be able to afford one, so he created the Goodtime banjos. He designed them to fill in the gap between low priced banjos and banjos with enough quality for beginners to learn without difficultly or giving up.

    Deering makes the banjos here in the USA, at the Deering shop with the same tooling they use to make the top of the line banjos. The Goodtime banjos are the designed for success and are the lowest priced American made banjos - so good that many professionals have recorded with Goodtime banjos. The Goodtime 2 has a natural blond maple satin finish to protect it and weighs 6 pounds, about the same weight of a guitar. If you want a great low priced bluegrass banjo for travel and leisure that plays properly and is durable, the Goodtime 2 is the best buy on the market!
