Deering Banjo Company unveils the “Goodtime Special” Banjo

Deering Banjo fills the hottest selling “gap” in the market today with the exciting new Goodtime
Special banjo. Based on the popular, best selling Goodtime and Goodtime 2 banjos, this maple neck and resonator banjo is now hand fitted with the new “Goodtime Special Tone Ring,” creating a tone and playability that rivals competitive banjos costing 4 times more.

The banjo market have been hungry for an American made, quality banjo in the mid-price range that plays and adjust easily and has a responsive, bright, and crisp sound. ‘Customers don’t mind spending the money for a mid-priced banjo, but generally don’t want to buy an import in that price range…” says one Deering banjo dealer. Deering’s “Goodtime Special” retails for $599 and is the ideal banjo for this neglected price point.

One of America’s number one pop music groups, the Dixie Chicks, are having a similar effect on the banjo that the Beatle’s had on the electric guitar. Since the Dixie Chicks feature a banjo prominently, the banjo is now being seen by millions around the world and young people are buying Deering banjos to emulate their favorite artists.

Deering’s vast banjo building experience has answered the market’s need for a better quality banjo, at a price that makes it affordable for everyone. Professionals will buy the Goodtime Special for a traveling or camping banjo. Beginners will buy it as a better quality entry-level banjo. Intermediate players will trade in their low quality banjos for the Goodtime Special.
The Goodtime Special banjo perfectly fills this demand for a hand-made, better than entry level, mid-priced banjo from America’s premiere banjo maker.
