Overview

Well-built to give you the good time you deserve when you are playing that good ol' American music.

A resonator back provides more projection of sound in the Goodtime Two. Made here in the USA at the Deering shop with the same tooling used to make their top-of-the-line banjos. Greg Deering designed the Goodtime banjos because he felt there were no low-priced banjos of enough quality for people to actually learn on without difficulty or giving up. He remembers what it was like to want a good banjo and not be able to afford one, so his gift to others is the Goodtime banjo line. Designed for success, the Goodtime banjos are the lowest-priced American-made banjos. They are so good, many professionals have recorded with Goodtime banjos.

The Goodtime Two weighs 6 lb. - about the weight of a guitar. The Goodtime Two has a natural blonde maple with a satin finish to protect it. The rich, golden tone and the reverberation off the resonator sound great. You can definitely tell a volume difference between open back and a Goodtime Two. The sound waves aren't getting trapped between you and the banjo, which makes a pretty big difference. If you want a great, low-priced bluegrass banjo for travel and leisure that plays correctly and is durable, this is an excellent investment.
