There is some remarkable tonal magic going on here with the Deering Goodtime Special Banjo with resonator. The new steel tone ring combined with the unique Goodtime flange and red maple rim is the perfect combination for a classic professional Bluegrass tone. This newly Patented Goodtime Special Tone Ring designed by Deering produces a powerfully crisp, bright, sparkling tone, a considerable step up in tone from the original tone ring that was featured on the Deering Goodtime Special banjo with resonator. The volume of tone is a wonderful surprise to players.

This Goodtime Special with resonator 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. Easy to play with clarity of note separation and round full bodied tone.If you’re looking for a banjo with good volume and tone, then this is the banjo for you.

Comes strung with Deering Light Gauge Banjo Strings
