The Oregon Charity Banjo is entirely one-of-a-kind, made with a Honey Amber neck bearing the shape of Oregon proudly on the peghead. With pearloid inlays of gold set into the Midnight Maple fingerboard and deep blue maple rim and resonator, this banjo shares the beauty of the great state of Oregon.
The drum head of the banjo is personally signed by Mumford & Sons with a personal message from the band.
Based on the Deering Artisan Goodtime Two this banjo has a resonator back for projection, and a violin grade maple rim that gives it a bright and clear tone. Designed and built by Deering Banjos at their factory in Spring Valley, California specifically for this auction.
The stunning Artisan Goodtime banjos embody Greg Deering’s lifelong vision for the Deering Banjo Company – to make the best sounding, playing, looking, and best value U.S.A. made banjo that he possibly could. It is a never-ending quest that Deering pursues every single day.

Introducing the new Goodtime Deco Series, a stunning tribute to the vibrant American Art Deco design movement of the 1920s when the banjo reigned as America's most beloved instrument.
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.
Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. We are excited to be collaborating with Ed Helms, Molly Tuttle & Ketch Secor, and Kristin Scott Benson. Each banjo has been designed in collaboration with the artist, and in some cases the charity itself, and personally signed by the respective artists. They will be auctioned below from Nov 28th through Dec 10th with the proceeds benefiting the charities of the artist's choice.
