A Great Value For All Skill Levels – The Deering Goodtime Two 5 String W/ ResonatorGreg Deering designed the Goodtime banjos because 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 lbs – 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 the best buy on the market!NECKBlonde Slender Rock Maple Neck22 Pressed In Nickel Silver FretsHardwood Bow Tie InlaysSealed Geared TunersGeared 5th String TunerDurable Satin FinishDeering Fiddle Shaped PegheadPOT11″ Blonde 3-ply Violin Grade Maple RimSteel Tension Hoop11″ Frosted Top High Crown Head5/8″ Maple/Ebony Goodtime Bridge16 Flat Hooks with 9/32″ Nuts16 Bracket Shoes with Screw AttachmentsDeering Patented Goodtime TailpieceSteel Coordinator Rod for AdjustmentsDurable Satin FinishRESONATORResonator of Blonde MapleBlack BindingDurable Satin FinishTONEEasy to play with clarity of note separation and round full bodied tone.STRINGSComes strung with Deering Light Gauge Banjo StringsTUNEDG,D,G,B,D in standard G tuning.Can easily be tuned in other tunings as well.DIMENSIONSNeck Width at the Nut 1 1/4″Scale Length Nut to Bridge 26 1/4″Rim Diameter 11″Resonator Diameter 13 7/8″Overall Instrument Length 38″Weight Approx. 6 lbsManufacturer:Deering BanjosModel:G2SKU:I355903-N-0-WHXDUPC: 840394012001We are Chuck Levin’s Washington Music CenterSince 1958, Chuck Levins Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
