Deering announces the latest Goodtime banjo…4 strings with 19-frets of musical opportunity waiting to be explored! In response to the resurgence of interest to traditional New Orleans jazz, and by Irish players to the 19-fret tenor banjo, the ever-popular Goodtime banjo in a 19-fret scale length is joining the ranks of its 17-fret cousin, already well received across the ocean and around the world! Fast-paced Irish jigs and reels played on the banjo traditionally found players preferring a closer fret scale and thus the 17-fret tenor banjo was popularly used for this purpose. Today’s new tenor players, including the noted Jerry O’Connor, are finding the increased versatility of a 19-fret scale to their liking. The Deering neck is noted for its slender, fast feel, qualities especially suited to lively Dixieland and Celtic tunes. |
