The Deering Goodtime Two Tenor Banjo 19 Fret offers a very pleasant tone that certainly is vibrant without being overbearing.
This banjo is tuned in the Standard Tenor Tuning of C,G,D,A. It can also be tuned like an octave mandolin (G,D,A,E) so any mandolin player can easily pick it up and play it (change in string gauges needed).
This updated 2026 version features a brass finish armrest, tailpiece and hoop as well as updated inlays.
This American maple tenor banjo is lighter in weight with a clear tone that is warm and resonant. Because this model has a resonator it is louder than the open back model. With a neck that has been precisely fretted for intonation accuracy and a comfortable neck profile, you will find yourself playing this banjo for hours.
