Each Artisan Goodtime model showcases a proprietary Midnight Maple fingerboard, ornate Artisan-inspired inlays, and a beautiful rich brown stain that exudes elegance. Artisan Goodtime banjos are also equipped with planetary banjo tuners, allowing for precise tuning and exceptional performance.
Learning how to play the banjo is no different. There are different types of banjos and plenty of new terminology for parts of banjos and playing styles. Aspiring players also wonder what makes one banjo better than another.
Watch and listen to Deering artists play our banjos and choose your favorite tone!
All of our banjos are made by passionate banjo craftsmen and women in our Spring Valley, California shop.

What kind of strings were originally used on my Deering five string open back Americana?
If I may make a suggestion, a luthier’s knot, especially with light gauge string, will do wonders for keeping your instrument in tune. I’m a fairly new banjo convert but I’ve been playing acoustic guitar for (jeez I just counted them up on my fingers) for about 60 years. I learned about the luthier’s knot a couple of years ago and I’m still amazed at the difference it can make. There are a lot of good “how to” videos on YouTube.
Thanks for the great tutorial.

I have been changing my strings based on Chad’s videos for about 15 years on all of my banjos, new version he gets more and more practical about how to do it. String changing is the easiest thing a person can do that can have the greatest impact on improving your banjo, but even though I have changing strings on banjos for 23 years and on guitars for 62 years, it seems to have the greatest amount of dread and fear as if it took 10 times longer and required physical effort, Thanks for a clear and practical explanation, The explanations gets better ever time with more practical tips
very explicit maybe watch it a couple times before tackling the the work myself many thanks weegeordie.
I’m a beginner player I have broke one of my strings should I replace all strings or just the one that is broke.
