Deering Goodtime Special Openback Banjo

Special means it has our patented Goodtime Special Tone Ring – The Goodtime Special Openback banjo produces a more powerful and brighter tone because it is made with Deering patented steel tone ring. There is some remarkable tonal magic going on here: 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.

Players often ignore the importance of the rim when shopping for a banjo; granted the tone ring is important but rim is of almost equal importance to the final tone ( and couple that to the flange, tension hoop and overall setup for the final tonal results).

This is the lowest priced Deering banjo made with a tone ring. The openback style makes it suitable for clawhammer or frailing styles of playing, while the increased brightness and volume is a wonderful surprise to players who play in the more traditional bluegrass style of play. The Deering Goodtime Special Openback offers a louder projection and clarity from the tone ring of a full bodied tone.

Comes strung with Deering Light Gauge Banjo Strings
