“Now everyone can have a Goodtime!” says Barry Hunn, worldwide sales manager for the Deering Banjo Company. With the addition of the Tenor Goodtime banjo, the ever popular, easy to play, American-made quality rock maple Goodtime banjo line now has 13 models for customers to choose from. The Deering Banjo Company added the Tenor to its Goodtime line in response to customer requests. The new Tenor Goodtime is available in openback and resonator models, with and without tonerings, and in an extremely affordable openback acoustic/electric. The Goodtime Tenor models will be available in the same $299 to $615 price range as the other members of the Goodtime line. Left-handed models and the openback acoustic/electric have been popular additions to the original lineup of openback and resonator models, with and without tonerings. Customers can buy the entire “baker’s dozen” Goodtime line at a dealer in their area.
Deering’s American-made Goodtime banjos are well known for their ease of playability, sparkling tone, light weight, and affordability! With the addition of the Tenor model, banjoists will be able to play a wider variety of music than ever before. Popularly used for Irish music and jazz, the tenor banjo is also ideal for young children because of the shorter scaled neck. Deering’s tenor Goodtime banjo is 19-frets, making it 3 inches shorter than the standard 22-fret 5-string models. The neck is narrower all the way up making it easier for smaller hands to play.
